Hi,
I would like your help with this:
I wan't to simulate a water filled tank in seismic responce.
1. I read in a paper that solid45 element was chosen over fluid80 element using fluid element properties as:
E=B[3(1-2?)] where bulk modulus of water is 300000lbf/in2 and ?=0.4999.
So it could be use simply the contact option.
I convert these units and set in solid elements
EX=1265.52 kN/m2
V=0.0001145 m2/sec
D=10 kN/m3
Do you thing this could be correct?
2. Could you help me (just the steps in GUI) how we can set an elastic response spectrum g vs. T?
What is the difference between Single Point and multi point spectrum?
Thaks a lot
PS : as previous abaqus user I think ansys is much more friendly and simpler
