Acceleration load (Simcenter Samcef)
Use the Acceleration command to define the magnitude and direction of an acceleration load on a whole model or on elements.
| Type | The corresponding Simcenter Samcef Input file entry is |
|---|---|
| Whole Model - Magnitude and Direction, Whole Model - Components | .CLM ACC STRUCTURE C 1/2/3 V - [NF - TIME] |
| Model Subset- Magnitude and Direction, Model Subset- Components | .CLM ACC ELEMENT C 1/2/3 V - [NF - TIME] |
The Acceleration can be used in Samcef structural Linear Static, Non Linear Static, and Buckling solutions.
