Post-Processing Question: How do you import the forces into a structural analysis software

sam95

Let's say you used "compute forces" to get the forces acting on a certain structure in DualSPHysics.

How do you go about importing these forces into a structural analysis software (ABAQUS, SAP2000, etc.)?

Thanks.

There is no direct workflow for doing this. You can do it your self by exporting the forces in slices or extracing the pressure values on a body, to then redisribute on a mesh (imagining you want to do FEA).

So you will have to write some custom code to do it.

Kind regards
