How can I define amplitude in tabular format for Cyclic loading in ABAQUS?
Loading is as follows:
- loading for 0.18 seconds, rest for 1.25 second and this cycle will be repeated 10,000 times.
Hi Abbas,
Several similar discussions can be found in Researchgate. You can find more in this link below:

Dear Abbas Abbaszadeh,
I see two ways to do what you are asking for:
Way A: you can define an amplitude using Tabular selection in Amplitudes section of the Tree. The form for the first two "pulses" is shown in the image I have uploaded. Of course this cannot be done by hand for 10.000 cycles, thus you can make a simple script to provide as output the data for the table and copy-paste them in Abaqus.
Way B: you can write a simple UAMP sub-routine (provided by Abaqus - see USERSUB reference manual) to define your amplitude the way you like. I think this solution is the most efficient and provides you with more control options and customizing capabilities.
