Hi All,
Recently I am doing the vehicle analysis in ABAQUS explicit. I defined the reference point in order to get the reaction force during loading. However, when I output the reaction force in the loading direction, the value is cyclic. I applied the velocity boundary condition and defined the amplitude. But what I thought is the reaction force should be constantly increase to some certain value and then decrease (due to damage defination), other than change with a period.
What is the problem or the real reaction force cannot be obtained like this same as in the ABAQUS standard? Thanks in advance!
