Load Control

Load Control

Load Control

(OP)
I am trying to model a test performed using a servo hydraulic machine and I need to be able to control Abacus Standard using "Load Control". Basically I am unloading a specimen to ~70N and then reloading, is there any easy way of doing this?

RE: Load Control

(OP)
Let me restate, I need to be under displacement control and when I hit 70N in my history output I need to stop the unloading step and start the next loading step.  

RE: Load Control

Hi Graminal,
you can run a test-model where you apply a predefined displacemment in time and large enough to create force of 70 N. Check the time-history of the force-displacement and see what displacement needed for a force of 70 N

RE: Load Control

Are you doing a dynamic test?  If not why not apply the desired load and record the displacement?

Hi,

You can use sensor outup plus uamp subroutine.
