Time Scaling Factor - Abaqus/Explicit

[zeke27]

Hi,

I´m using the Abaqus/Explicit and I have some questions about the time period.

I know that the time period is the time of the event being simulated but
How should I define the time scaling factor?. The time scaling factor is the "n" defined in the Analysis user´s Manual?

I´ve been reading the manual and It´s no so clear with this factor.

Thanks in Advance.

You don't have to specify it, as it is an optional value. Never used it myself, but I do use mass scaling to speed up analysis times...
