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.
