Required parameters
- NAME
-
Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to the
amplitude curve.
Optional parameters
- DEFINITION
-
Set DEFINITION=TABULAR (default) to give the amplitude-time (or amplitude-frequency)
definition in tabular form.
Set DEFINITION=EQUALLY SPACED, PERIODIC, MODULATED, DECAY, SMOOTH STEP, SOLUTION DEPENDENT, or BUBBLE to define the amplitude according to the definitions given in
Amplitude Curves.
Set DEFINITION=USER to define the amplitude via user subroutines
UAMP and
VUAMP.
Set DEFINITION=ACTUATOR to define the amplitude via co-simulation with a logical
modeling program.
- INPUT
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the alternate input file containing
the data lines for this option. See
Input Syntax Rules
for the syntax of such file names. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed
that the data follow the keyword line.
This parameter cannot be used if DEFINITION=USER or DEFINITION=ACTUATOR.
-
NORMALIZED
-
Set
NORMALIZED=YES
to define the amplitude time as normalized time (values must be in the range of 0–1).
The normalized time is multiplied automatically by the current step time during the
analysis.
Set
NORMALIZED=NO
(default) to indicate that the amplitude time values are not normalized values. In
this case the amplitude time is not multiplied by the current step time during the
analysis.
This parameter can be used only with
DEFINITION=TABULAR
or
DEFINITION=SMOOTH STEP.
-
SCALEX
-
Set this parameter equal to the value by which the time values are to be scaled. The
default is 1.
This parameter cannot be used if
DEFINITION=SOLUTION DEPENDENT,
BUBBLE,
USER, or
ACTUATOR.
- SCALEY
-
Set this parameter equal to the value by which the amplitude values are to
be scaled. The default is 1.
This parameter cannot be used if DEFINITION=SOLUTION DEPENDENT, BUBBLE, or USER.
- SHIFTX
-
Set this parameter equal to the value by which the time values are to be
shifted. The default is 0.
This parameter cannot be used if DEFINITION=SOLUTION DEPENDENT, BUBBLE, USER, or ACTUATOR.
- SHIFTY
-
Set this parameter equal to the value by which the amplitude values are to
be shifted. The default is 0.
This parameter cannot be used if DEFINITION=SOLUTION DEPENDENT, BUBBLE, or USER.
- TIME
-
Set TIME=STEP TIME (default) for step time. If the step in which the amplitude is
referenced is in the frequency domain, STEP TIME corresponds to frequency.
Set TIME=TOTAL TIME for total time accumulated over all non-perturbation analysis
steps.
See
Conventions
for a discussion of these time measures.
- VALUE
-
Set VALUE=RELATIVE (default) for relative magnitude definition.
Set VALUE=ABSOLUTE for direct input of absolute magnitudes. In this case the data
line values in the load option are ignored. Because the values given in the
field definition are ignored, the absolute amplitude value will be used to
define both the temperature and the gradient. For this reason, VALUE=ABSOLUTE should not be used when temperatures or predefined field
variables are specified for nodes connected to beam and shell elements whose
section definition includes TEMPERATURE=GRADIENTS (default).
Required parameter for DEFINITION=EQUALLY SPACED
- FIXED INTERVAL
-
Set this parameter equal to the fixed time (or frequency) interval at which
the amplitude data will be given.
Optional parameter for DEFINITION=EQUALLY SPACED
- BEGIN
-
Set this parameter equal to the time (or lowest frequency) at which the
first amplitude is given. The default is BEGIN=0.0.
Optional parameter for DEFINITION=TABULAR or DEFINITION=EQUALLY SPACED
- SMOOTH
-
Set this parameter equal to the fraction of the time interval before and
after each time point during which the piecewise linear time variation is to be
replaced by a smooth quadratic time variation in any case when time derivatives
of the amplitude definition are required. The defaults are SMOOTH=0.25 in
Abaqus/Standard
and SMOOTH=0.0 in
Abaqus/Explicit.
The allowable range is 0.0 SMOOTH
0.5. A value of 0.05 is suggested for amplitude definitions that contain large
time intervals to avoid severe deviation from the specified definition. This
parameter is applicable only when time derivatives are needed (for displacement
or velocity boundary conditions in a direct integration dynamic analysis) and
is ignored for all other uses of this option.
Optional parameters for DEFINITION=USER
- PROPERTIES
-
Set this parameter equal to the number of properties being entered. The
properties are available for use in user subroutines
UAMP and
VUAMP. They can be defined on the data lines or directly within
the user subroutine. The default is PROPERTIES=0.
- VARIABLES
-
Set this parameter equal to the number of solution-dependent state variables
that must be stored with this amplitude definition. Its value must be greater
than 0. The default is VARIABLES=1.
