How apply Acceleration?

How apply Acceleration?

How apply Acceleration?

(OP)
Hi

I have a simple structure,that must apply acceleration for example 1g.my actual condition in experiment is a shaker usage for apply this.
How can I apply this to structure?
I use GUI that apply this to one element,but this is correct that it is applied to one element no to all structure?
if yes,how must select this element?
 

RE: How apply Acceleration?

If you want to apply a 1g static load to the structure, use the ACEL command (details in Help).
If you are doing something like a 1g sine sweep, you could do a spectrum analysis.  An example is in 6.4 of the Structural Analysis Guide for ANSYS 13.0.
