Hi everyone!

I need advice, I have to carry out a bridge-truck interaction analysis in ABAQUS. I don´t know where I can start, the thing is that now I´m going to try doing it, in a simplified model in order to don´t loose time.

Can you help me? Can you give me some advices? how to model de simplified truck? analytical rigis surfaces of tyres with non strcutural masses? I need more or less precission on the bridge not in the truck (there is no accelerometers in the truck). I know how to modelice the bridge, the type of element, the meshing, the connectors... but what I don´t know is how to manage Explicit,

I have thought using explicit, because is a very large model.

Thanks in advance.
