You can make both linear and bulk viscosity zero from edit step (see attached picture)

Thanks, if we make them zero, we won't get a smooth results, this is the problem,

Hi Mehdi,

the step- pulse propagation shown in your plot, if i am right, looks pretty good, especially if it corresponds to the zero viscosities. In a situation like yours, I can only recommend signal filtration to suppress higher frequencies. Abaqus has several filters. I have found out that the Butterworth filter accessible at the visualisation mode works better than the same filter accessible at CAE, so try Butterworth filter and note that the cut off frequency in Abaqus should be in Hz, and not in rad/s.

Hi Dr. Kuznetsov,

Thanks for your reply, I used Butterworth filter and I got the attached results. However, I think the results still don't look in a good shape. Kindly let me know what value for cut off frequency should be used. Also, please let me know the taken step time if I only stick to the filters available in the visualization module. In fact, the problem is ABAQUS cannot take cutoff frequency more than a limited value, because of that a good result cannot be provided. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Mehdi

Dear Mehdi,

The last plot looks pretty good (may be too soft by may taste, so I would slightly  increase the cut off frequency).  I cannot give you any more advise, good luck.
