Moving load
Moving load
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I trying to simulate a train moving on a piece of land (soil) using Ansys 12.
Can I insert a moving load (distributed load) which represents the load coming from the train. If yes, how?
Thanks,

So, do you mean that this can be achieved using the transient solver. Because I think it will be more accurate. In this way we will be able to see as much solutions as possible and we can see how the stresses are changing smoothly. This is my opinion.
Bro, Is there any way we can define the location of the start and end of a distributed load using a coordinate system.
Thanks,
RE: Moving load
also the load from a train is a series of point loads at each wheel not a distributed load.

- I think that the dynamic and inertial forces have to be considered, because not only we want to study the effect of a static train loads on a land, we also need to study the soil (land) condition when a train is stopping or accelerating.
Does it matter ?
- Brother inline6,
I have posted earlier through the last two weeks some questions, I do not know whether you have seen them or not.
Can you have a look on them and tell me whether you know any idea about them.
- One last question bro:
imagine we have extracted a cubic piece of land (Soil) from a land, the top surface of this piece is atmospheric and the other 5 surfaces (sides) are contacted with other soil surfaces which belongs to the original land.
What type of support do you think we should assign for these 5 surfaces?
RE: Moving load
you can consider the dynamic and inertia forces statically using a dynamic factor as appropriate
