2x2 Cable Net Apply Load

2x2 Cable Net Apply Load

2x2 Cable Net Apply Load

(OP)
Hi,

Does anyone know how I can apply a total load of 75 N in steps of 12.5 N on a node of a cable net system in a time period of 120s (so 12.5 N every 20s)?
I have managed to apply the total final load of 75 N but I cannot find a way of dividing the load into steps.

I am new to ABAQUS so it would be very appreciated if you explain in a bit of detail how to do it :)

I have attached a photo of the previous results I got: I am trying to make the ABAQUS analysis (blue dots) to match the Experimental Data (grey dots).

Thank you!!

Matteo

RE: 2x2 Cable Net Apply Load

In your step definition, you can set the total time. Then in the incrementation tab you set minimum and maximum increments to be equal to 20s (75/12.5=6 -> 120/6=20 sec).

Unfortunately, I don't know the properties, or if the test is reliable.

Is there anything I can do so you can understand better what I am looking for?
