I want to start a dynamic calculation in Abaqus in which, for every node, I specify the displacements, velocities and accelerations. I know that by the *IMPORT command, I can start a calculation with a deformed mesh, and that the velocities can be defined by in the *INITIAL CONDITIONS, but how to deal with non zero user defined accelerations? Have any body did that? Is it possible with a subroutine?

Thanks for any help
