How can I model a moving load in ABAQUS?
Hi everybody,
I am trying to model the "wheel tracker" test in ABAQUS. In order to do so, I need to model a concentrated load moving in a line on a beam segment, back an forth.
The question is, I do not know how to model this moving load.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ph.D. positions in Computational Geometry and Mechanics at BYU
Two PhD positions in my research group are immediately available. Both positions involve the design, analysis, and implementation of numerical methods for computer aided design, analysis, and optimization with particular emphasis on complex multiphysics systems.
Neutralization of errors
Hello,
The problem in numerics is the neutralization of the errors for example plus (+)error and minus (-)error. For that reason it is difficult to locate a convergent process. Some numerical algorithms avoid these omissions like leat squares methods which handle the square of the errors in the minimization function. In the other applications like solving processes truncating errors and roundoff errors can be analyzed successfully.
