Quasi-Static Simulations Using Explicit Dynamics Analysis_51CAE_新浪博客

Two approaches to obtaining economical quasi-static solutions with anexplicit dynamics solver:

- Increased load rates​

- Mass scaling

Two methods to obtain an economical quasi-static solution with an explicit dynamic procedure are to increase the loading rates and to perform mass scaling.​

One approach to determining the extent to which the loading rate can be increased is to study the natural frequencies of the structure using Abaqus/Standard. In a static or quasi-static analysis the lowest eigenmode of a structure usually dominates the response.

Knowing the frequency and the corresponding time period of the lowest mode, you can estimate the time required to obtain a quasi-static response. A starting guideline is to specify a loading time greater than 10 times the period of the lowest eigenmode.​

​

As a general rule, to determine whether an analysis is quasi-static, the kinetic energy of the deforming structure should not exceed a small fraction (typically 5%) of its internal energy throughout most of the simulation.
