Dynamic explicit, ABAQUS Keyword error

[PSRani]

Hi, I have created a model with repeated loading defined in tabular amplitude. I have used dynamic explicit step for this purpose. When I submit the job, I have come across an error " THIS KEYWORD IS NOT AVAIALABLE IN Abaqus/Explicit", Any inputs on this would be great.

What keyword ? The error message should indicate it. Check the log files for more info.

As highlighted in the data file, it shows creep is missing.But in the inp file I could see the creep details.Is there something I am missing

 

[PSRani]

First image is the data file, second image is the part of inp file

The problem is not that this keyword is missing but that it's there in an analysis not supporting it. *CREEP is only available in Abaqus/Standard, not in Abaqus/Explicit.

Okay. Thank you for the clarification. Does that mean that we cannot do dynamic analysis to understand the creep behavior of viscoelastic materials? If so, which step do we need to use to do the dynamic repeated load application to the material in understanding the creep behavior

From the documentation:
