Combination of Several Loading Time Diagram Sets for Time History Analysis

To simulate an excitation that varies over time and changes its position, you can combine several loading time diagrams in RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Forced Vibrations.

In RFEM/RSTAB, you define several load cases containing the loads in the desired position. In RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Forced Vibration, you define the same amount of time diagrams. And in dynamic load cases, you combine all those together.

The loads in load cases can be of nearly any type: nodal, member, surface, free, or generated loads. Time diagrams can be defined as periodic, transient, or directly as function. The figure shows an example of walking on a simple supported beam.
