Nonlinear analysis Loading

Parthiban B

Hi,

I am performing Non linear Transient analysis.

In which I need to apply loads in X, Y and Z direction as a Time vs Load Curve.

 

I tried using Dload - Dynamic load combination. In which I gave 3 TLOAD data in the table. But I can't get the expected motion in my model. But I could control the motion in the Tload card. What can I do to give single curve with different load factors

 

 Please Help.

Hi Parthiban,

If you are trying to apply loading individually, then you need to create 3 separate loadsteps and carryout the analysis. And if you want to see the combined loading you need to create a DLOAD card where you can combine all the three TLOADs.

Thanks
