When I am trying to do a direct moving load analysis on a cantilever beam i am unable to see any option in the Ls-dyna environment that enables me to apply a moving load. Any suggestions?
Try *LOAD_MOVING_PRESSURE. If you couldn't come up with any direct method of applying in LS-DYNA, then the next best solution is apply this load on a rigid body and make the body move over the cantilever surface. This will give the same effect as you are intending.
