Hi guys,
im using strand7 non linear transient analysis to examine the effect of a dynamic force on a counterweight. This countweight is suspended from a beam that is being impacted. I have modelled the cables using beam elements and selecting the beam element to act as a cable. The...
I'm trying simulate 6 forces of equal magnitude impacting a row of consectuve beams, each 1 second apart (ie like a truck impacting cross beams along the length of a bridge). I am restricted to using Strand 7, is it possible to individually delay each force in a dynamic analysis? Or is there a...
Hi guys,
My current project involves modelling an excavator arm impacting a series of cross-beams on a steel bridge.
I have little to no experience in Strand 7 and am looking for a few pointers on how to go about the model! If anyone has some tips to direct me along that would be fantastic.
So...
