Enforced acceleration constraint (Simcenter Samcef)
An Enforced Acceleration applies a known acceleration to geometry or FE entities.
From the Type list, select:
Magnitude and Direction to define the constraint with a magnitude and a direction.
Component to define the constraint on individual degree of freedom.
Normal to define the constraint normal to a selection.
Translational Components - Field to define the constraint by specifying a table field (for translational degrees of freedom only).
This constraint creates Samcef .CLM ACC NOEUD - V - C - commands in the solver input file.
The Enforced Acceleration can only be used if you solve a Samcef structural Non Linear Static solution with an active subcase of the Dynamic analysis type.
Where do I find it?
