    Hi,

     

    I am sorry but could you please explain what do you mean by excitation input in SPCD?

     

    Do you mean in TLOADi card?

    yes,

    TLOAD1 card only

    TLOAD1         3      10            ACCE      11

     

    SPCD 10,1,9810

    TABLED1 11, ( inputs are in time(s) vs Acceleration (g)

    Hi @Murasoli

     

    The TLOAD1 looks fine. You are passing the solver that the load type is acceleration.

    SPCD 10,1,9810

     

    if i use this type of input, is that i will get out put acceleration in (g or mm/s^2)

    i'm getting stress are very high

     

    if my input in this type

    HI,

     

    It should the unit which you used. 

     

    What about displacements?

     

    Can you add ENFMOTN>>REL card and check the results?

    displacement also high only

    how this card works (ENFMTON>>REL)

    HI,

     

    WIthout ENFMOTN>> REL the displacement and accelerations, etc... are absolute values and stress is calculated based on total displacement

     

    With ENFMOTN>> REL the values will be relative to applied enforced motion

    Yes its good, Getting relative Displacement and acceleration

    And still stresses were high, As same as without ENFMOTN card

    Hi @Murasoli

     

    Are you looking at SDISPLACEMENT values?

     

    Is it possible to share the .out file and if possible share the model as well. 

     

    Please use the file transfer link in my signature to share the model file

    please check the files which i have shared.

    Is possible give a model which can be correlated with FRF and Transient
