dynamic load application

Post by giacomodemarie »

Hi all,

How is it polssible to apply a dynamic load directly to a single dof? I have managed to find just how to apply support excitations!

Thanks!!!!

what's the difference?
if you use the mulitiple-support excitation, you can apply the dynamic load at as specific node -- it has to be a displacement history, though.
