using a displacement instead of a force for the load
using a displacement instead of a force for the load
(OP)
I am trying to simulate a plant stem, and have real experimental data in which a plant stem in displaced a certain distance due to an input frequency signal, and then measurements of the displacement at different parts along the stem were made.
Consequently for my ABAQUS simulation I want to place a load on my stem in the form of a displacement, so that I can compare the displacement along the stem with the data I already have. Does anyone know how I can place a displacement as a load instead of a force?

Conversely if you only have linear material properties you may want to do a frequency simulation.
Out of curiosity what are you trying to model? Earth quake on a tree, tomato plant on a truck..?
I hope this helps.

I have data collected using a laser vibrometer of how a plant shakes given a specific frequency, and I am trying to model the plant with ABAQUS in order to better understand how the plant dissipates the insects signal.
