Hello

I want analysis of bridge to find stresses and deflection when heavy vehicle passing on bridge with different speed so how i analysed, can anyone please help me or if anyone have reference model please share if possible...

Hello,

I recommend you start with a Static Structural analysis. Model the bridge and place a heavy vehicle at some location.  You can move the vehicle using CAD or you can add a remote displacement to move the vehicle across the bridge.

For learning point of view I used simple model in these take simple road and area two axle of vehicle and apply forces on axle areas...but I can't understand how to apply velocity or acceleration if these is move with 30 km/h speed...i attached my model if possible try to edit..https://1drv.ms/u/s!AojYkLIKnSnbghB1X3GXfbOsOUTI?e=hNGCJc
