How apply movement to tube

[aaltuna]

Hello to everyone,

I do not know if this is the forum to make this quiestion. If it is not the forum, sorry in advance.
I am doing electromagnetic calculation and I have results, but the tube has not displacement.
Now I would like to introduce the movement to the tube. I want to introduce 0.6m/s movement to the tube and I do not know how I can do it.

My questions are:
How can I introduce the movement to the tube?
I have to do with 2 steps? I mean, the first one to make electromagnetic calculation and second step to introduce movement.

Any reply it would be appreciate.

Thanks in advance,

Ane

Have you tried setting the BC>Mechanical>Velocity/Angular velocity?

Dear cdixonm,

First and foremost, thanks for your answer.
Indeed, I tried this option but in electromagnetic calculation is not posible to define the velocity in this way.
According to the abaqus user manual, the motion would be define with the following code:

But I do not why my tube does not move.
*MOTION, ELEMENT, TRANSLATION
Tubo, 0., 0., -1., 10

Do you have any idea how I can define the movement, both in electromagnetic and thermal calculation.

Thanks in advance,

Ane
