Time vs acceleration input
Time vs acceleration input
(OP)
Dear all,
I am using ANSYS 15.0 mechanical. I have a query that is it possible in ANSYS to input “time Vs acceleration” history as an input?
I know that pressure, displacement time history can be given as input using “Existing table” option in ANSYS , similarly can I use ACEL command ? .ANSYS help mentions that The ACEL command supports tabular boundary conditions but there is no option available like “existing table” .How I can do that?
I would appreciate, if anybody helps me in this.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,

RE: Time vs acceleration input
*DIM,XACEL,TABLE,140,2 !Define a table "XACEL" and assume there are 140 acceleration data pair
*VREAD,XACEL,RILE_NAME,TXT,,,140,2 !Read the acceleration date from "FILE_NAME.txt" to the table
ACEL,%XACEL_X% !Apply the acceleration
RE: Time vs acceleration input
Thank you very much for your valuable reply. As Mr.Drej suggested to use "D" command I read manual which has mentioned that tabular boundary condition can be used to input Acceleration vs time history. But in case of GUI there is no option of ACCX in Lab 2 which means to input this history I have to use command prompt?
As Jiang suggested ACEL command ,will effect of both commands will be same? because through ACEL command it is mentioned in manual that we can use it for tabular boundary condition.waiting for reply.
Once again thank you very much for your help
