Abaqus 6.9 Explicit and Implicit

Abaqus 6.9 Explicit and Implicit

Abaqus 6.9 Explicit and Implicit

(OP)
Hello all,

The abaqus documentation has some good explanations of the differences, pros and cons of using abaqus explict and Implicit, but I cant seem to find much explanation regardings its application in abaqus.  Is there a section within abaqus for making the choice between implicit and explicit analysis?  I know you can choose implicit or explicit mesh types.  However, I am looking for the dynamic, explicit step but can't seem to find this even though I have defined my element types and explicit.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

When you create a step you get a choice of analysis type.
