I have attempted setting it as a both a max time increment, and as a fixed user-defined time increment, and for both options my model reverts to a time increment size of 0.001 instead of 1E-06

Hello! I am attempting a dynamic, temp-disc, explicit simulation in ABAQUS, and even though I have my max time increment set to 1E-06, the steps seem to be at an increment of 0.001 when I submit the job. Does anyone have an ideal of why this may be, or how I can return it to my intended time...

That you for the inspirational words JHG! :)

JHD- Respectfully, I am able to do the math behind this problem. As I also got my undergrad degree in biomedical engineering, I have taken mechanics, differential equations, and ultrasonics courses. - I think my question is more how creating these types of devices works in a software such...

(for reference, I'm trying to use ABAQUS! can't believe I forgot to put it in the original post, but thank you for all of the feedback so far!)

I'm a graduate biomedical engineering student, and this is my first time using an FEA tool. I'm attempting it as a part of my research project. Since I'm not familiar with the software, I'm not sure what types of tools would be useful for creating this type of simulation. So you're right, I may...

it's a component that's ultrasonically powered, so looking at a frequency of around 50kHz and a displacement of ~150um

hello! trying to create a component that moves back and forth at a high frequency, with the part moving back and forth a specified amount. could anyone recommend a technique or approach with which to accomplish this? feeling stuck. thanks in advance!

Hi! Attempted to run a job in ABAQUS but was met with the error: "THE USER PARAMETER IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE CURRENT LICENSE TYPE" Is there a way to figure out which parameter is causing the problem? Thanks :)
