Hello folks,

I want to perform transient structural simulations. The structure is a simple cantilevered beam. Each node of the beam has 1 rotational degree of freedom and one translational. A transient Load is to be applied on each node. The value of the load is dependent on the deflection and rotation of each node, hence the load will be varied for each time step. I have precomputed load values as a function of deflection and rotation on all points of the beam and I want to use that for my simulation. I am confused about how to do that. Please help me, if anybody can. Also please ask if there is any ambiguity in my question.

Thank you

Best Regards

You can apply a do loop to select the nodes. Filter out the nodes based on locations and then apply relevant load and then increment to other locations.
