Is there a way to output displacement vs time from time history analysis?

thank you in advance for your time.

Not at this time. What exactly are you looking for:
- the displacement vs time for a specific node
- or the displacement vs time for all nodes

Actually both would be great. The ability to output displacement vs time data for individual, a group or all nodes would further increase the ability to analyse the response for a time history analysis.

Dear, good night!

I'm starting with dynamic analysis and I'm certain debts of how to enter the data of the "ramp" in the caesar. My data are:

0ms - 0N
11ms - 5300N
11ms - 5300N
22ms - 0N

I'm trying to get with these values ​​caesar, but without success.

Is there any walkthrough for this type of analysis?

Someone could help me.

thank you,
Gomes

1) Are you defining this pulse to be converted to a DLF, or to be used directly as time history loading?

2) What is your input in the "Force Set" tab?

3) Do you really want two entries at 11ms?

Hello Richard,

how can I use the pulse directly as time history loading? It seems to me that converting the pulse to a DLF is the only possibility provided by Caesar.

Post-minute note: I got it. Found answer in the below topic:

your suggested data:
0 0
11 5300
11 5300
22 0
:describes a triangular load history. The repeated "11 5300" is unnecesary and perhaps will generate an error.
That's a terribly quick event, one which will probably show no dynamic amplification as would be associated with the structural response (bending) of a piping system.

Thanks for the explanations.

To be used directly as the load time history.

I'll explain my doubt, have the following information:

Length = 300m
Dp = 4.79 kgf/cm2
Valve closing time = 0.306 s
Speed of sound in the fluid = 1095m / s

How do I mount the table Spctrum date:
Range (milisecounds) x DLF / Ordinate??

Thanks
