Hello community,
I have problems combining different amplitudes as a loading sequence for my simulation.
For my analysis (Dynamic/Explicit) I want to implement the following amplitude which represent a quasi-static loading followed by a periodic loading and a final quasi-static loading (as shown in qrafic below).
I tried to use the tabular amplitude input to define the loading above via Excel. It works but sometimes I have energy problems which I think could have to do with not enough datapoints of the amplitude for abaqus.
So I want to use the build-in functions. But I think I'm doing something wrong because I dont get the expected results. The loading doesn't follow all the steps.
The Screenshots above show my settings. I hope some experienced user can help me. Thanks in advance for your time.
Regards, Nicolas
