I am new to Abaqus and would like to model walking on a footbridge that I have already made. Does anyone have any experience or hints to this problem? I am thinking of placing consentrated forces along the bridge and then making them "active" by using different amplitudes as the person walkes along the bridge. Any other ideas?

Thank you for any help and suggestions!
