 Hello,

I would like to know how we can use accelerogram in dynamics.

I have a file with time and acceleration, but I don't know which study to cchoose and how i can use the file in Ansys.

If you can help it will be a pleasure for me.

Hello MaximeJ,

In Workbench, use a Transient Structural analysis. Have your file with time and acceleration open in Excel.

Add an Acceleration Load to the model and there is a Tabular data window. Copy the data from the time and acceleration columns in Excel and paste into the Tabular data first cell.

Hello Peteroznewman,

Thank you for the answer, it works.

However, how do we put gravity? Ansys says that is impossible to put acceleration and gravity.

Best regards

Maxime

I have a problem, the boundaries condition I took (support) are not takinf account into the transient analysis...

No it's fine i correct it

If your units are meters, and you want gravity to be in the -Y direction, then you add 9.8066 to the Y-component of acceleration in the applied acceleration load.
