Amplitude with ABAQUS.

Submitted by lchhung on

Hi friends,

I am using ABAQUS to model a O-Cell load test for deep pile foundation. I would like to applied the load which gradually increases with time (in second). But, if I apply the load step by step then it may take much time to input the data. I think we can use AMPLITUDE toolset in ABAQUS to define the incresing load (ex.), but I don't know how to apply the load by using AMPLITUDE toolset.

Example I have:

Time(sec) --- Load (kN)

1--- 100

15 ----500

30----1000

etc..

Can you please tell me how to define?

Sincerely,

HungLC

If you are working from CAE then there is amplitue function while you are assigning load  the general default in Ramp you can create your own amplitude and select that one your load defination.

If you are working on input file the you may write as 

* Amplitude, Name= Load-Amplitude, Time= Total Time

0,0,   1, 100,       15, 500,      30, 1000
