Hi all,

I am wanting to simulate a structural four point bending test on Abaqus of a slim floor composite section, I've assigned a amplitude table with all the loads at different times, however when I assign a load to the two loading plates at mid-span It won't let me just pick the amplitude of loading it wants an intensity? (CF1,2, 3) even though the intensity is already specified in the amplitude table?

Please see images...

You must specify magnitude of the load and amplitude will be multiplied by it to calculate actual load at selected moment of time. Just type 1 if amplitude table contains actual lod values, not their multipliers.
