Reply To: Shock response spectrum generalized

Small edit on this topic.

Looks like results were relative and not absolut while the graphic from the paper is in absolut.

By changing the options of the shock param I have different results and tested differents configurations:

config A:

config B:

Config C:

I have the following results:

What I understand from this is Config B and C are equivalent, while Config A have a significant impact on the system.

I initially thought that results would be equivalent and it would be only a visualisation matter, but it don't seems to be the case. This arise a new question, what would be the correct methology to simulate a shock that is meant to be on a test table? Looks like the correct way would be to simulate by displacement as configuration A which is much more complexe, time consuming, and poor visualization.(giving a a half sinus pulse acceleration results to infinite displacement.

Thanks for your feed back.
