Strand7 Time delay of multiple forces
Strand7 Time delay of multiple forces
(OP)
I'm trying simulate 6 forces of equal magnitude impacting a row of consectuve beams, each 1 second apart (ie like a truck impacting cross beams along the length of a bridge). I am restricted to using Strand 7, is it possible to individually delay each force in a dynamic analysis? Or is there a similar work around?
Appreciate any info, thanks!

In a linear structure you can add the effect of each force. So you ca add the stresses due to a force at node 1 to the stresees due to the force at node 2 with the appropriate tiem delay.
