Inputing complex force ranges over time into fatigue simulation
Inputing complex force ranges over time into fatigue simulation
(OP)
Hello,
This is my very first post. Hello all! Name's Ben, pleased to meet you.
I started using ABAQUS yesterday for a university honours project. What I want to do it compare a real life fatigue test rig to a computer simulation.
I am inputting a cycle of 8 force ranges into the DARTEC fatigue testing machine.
I want to do the same on ABAQUS.
Can I the input ACSII .txt files that I can export from the fatigue testing machine in real life to the software in ABAQUS?
If not how do I input complex force/strain cycles in ABAQUS.
I can do -2kN to 2kN until it breaks.
But what if it went -2.321kN to +0.001kN
-0.3kN to -0.2kN
-0.5kN to +0.05kN
pour example
Thanks,
BLAMETRUTH
