Importing models with accelerations as load case?

[A.Seidel]

Hi,

is it possible to import models which have accelerations as load?
I modeled the centrifugal force in Abaqus as an acceleration which is proportional to the radius.
The acceleration is calculated in Matlab based on the radius of the nodes and written as boundaries into the input file.
During Import of the data to HS I get the following error:

"Problem storing imported load sets"

Another general question:
it is often useful to use the *INCLUDE, INPUT=NAME.inp command to include information that was calculated in Matlab.
Is this command supported by HS-Import? Or should the data always be written in the "main" inputfile (as I'm doing at the moment)

Thanks,

A.Seidel

In general HS is not concerned with how you load the model. Any acceleration commands should be ignored.

*Include statements are supported.

For the load set import issue. There was a bug with the subtitles. To fix this:

1)   Remove the subtitle
OR
2)   Reduce the number of increments in your step. Since this is linear static you only need one increment.


*STEP, name="Gravitation Y_100"
*STATIC
1.0    ,1.0       ,

Thanks for the quick answer.

It is a dynamic step this time, but the number of increments could be reduced and now it works.
