Hi all
I have a model for a simple beam with knocking forces. I implement a model for that, I followed the procedure from a video to add the values of the forces (acceleration and time) to it.
I think I define all the parameters alright, but the results of the deformation and forces are zero!
Do I miss something? Appreciate your help
Attached is my model
What I have is a simple aluminum beam with two supports (dimension and section already inserted in my model).
In case 9 (Time history analysis) on my model I entered the measurements from the accelerometer (time ... acceleration) which they are measured in direction Z.
These measurements have been taken after knocking on the center of the beam.
The value of the knocking force is unknown.
what I am trying to achieve is how much the deformation until (any type of dynamic forces), in other words (how the beam behaves under these types of loads).
It's similar to earthquake (seismic forces) principle and how the structure will behave under these forces.
