Influence a Load while Simulation

[Ezio88]

Hello
i'm using abaqus in project. The core of the project is about curving a plate with different fixed loads. To achieve the right deformation the loads must be adjust while the simulation.

I have to different aaproaches:

1) Pythons Scripts - calculate one job, reading the displacements adopt the loads
2) Abaqus subroutines - influence the loads while one simulation with different timesteps.

The second idea has the advantage of clear results, in my thoughts. But I never worked with subroutines and i realy dont know if this is possible....

Has anyone a hint for me?

Best Regards

Ezio

Both ways are possible. The second one is the mored direct and elegant method.

Subroutines UAMP and VUAMP are available for such tasks.
