How can I model a moving load in ABAQUS?

Submitted by Milad.e on

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.

I can refer you:



1) iMechanica:

2) a thread in the LinkedIn "ABAQUS FEA group" entitled "Moving loads in Abaqus ", started by Denis Lapchev.

3) ABAQUS Usersโ€™ Conference 2010

Finite Element Models for Dynamic Analysis of Vehicles and Bridges under Traffic Loads
