Is it possible to apply time history functions from file as load, to certain points in model (abaqus)?

Submitted by Raimy Haidar on

I need to do vibration analysis of masonry building at certain points on the model. I do have numbers of time history data files (first column = time, second column = acceleration), which need to be applied at certain parts on the model (ranging from 1st floor to 3nd floor) . 

From my understanding, the time history data can be inputted in Amplitude>tabular and set the BC as acceleration.

However, is it possible to apply time history functions as load to a certain points on model (ABAQUS program)?

Helps needed.

A new journal in Nature Publishing Group: npj Computational Materials

Submitted by chenlei08 on

npj Computational Materials is an online only, fully open access journal dedicated to publishing original results, review articles, and editorials on materials by design and integrated computational and experimental materials research.

Topics of interest to the journal include, but not limited to the following:

Funded PhD in Computational Mechanics of Porous Metallic Materials

Submitted by Szyniszewski Stefan on

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship fully funded by the EU research project. The position is for a three-year research program leading to the PhD degree.

This project focuses on fracture and failure mechanism of metallic foams. The project will focus on extreme loads such as impact and blast. Metallic foam is lighter and does better in a crash than regular old metal or fiberglass. Check out the recent wired article on foam http://www.wired.com/2014/12/aluminum-foam-trains/.
