Hello everyone, I am currently working on my bachelor thesis. I'm still learning to use FLAC and a beginner on it. I have modeled several times and turned out my model didn't capture what I need to analysis. I am analyzing the liquefaction induced-settlement on low rise building. Here it is the result of my analysis, the soil deformed but the structure remain the same (I have to fix the x, y because if its not, the beam structure would be split up). Also, what is the unit for an input loading on FLAC?
Thank you so much,
Irma.
Hello Alireza Rashiddel
Yes, the dynamic loading also the load I want to define on structure . Thanks in advance!
Hello Fudji
Good time
Flac is very good software in World, you have made a good choice.
You need a Fish code to define the load function applied in the X or Y direction on the structure nodes:
example from fish code:
"""""""""""""""""""""""""''''"""''''''''''''''''''''''""""
Define Load_dynamic
load_fx = ? *(dytime)
load_fy = ? (dytime)
end
"""""""""""""""""""""""""''''"""''''''''''''''''''''''""""
Then write the function you want instead of the question mark
and write usual codes:
History 1 load_fx
History 2 load_fy
struct node 1 load load_fx,load_fy 0.0
Best, Rashiddel
Hi again Irma
FORCE unit: N
STRESS unit: Pascal or N/m2
DISPLACEMENT unit: Meter
DAYTIME unit: Second
