This option is used to apply incident wave loading. The *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION PROPERTY option must be used in conjunction with the *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION option. If the incident wave field includes a reflection off a plane outside the boundaries of the mesh, this effect can be modeled with the *INCIDENT WAVE REFLECTION option.
Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Type: History data
Level: Step
Set this parameter equal to the name of the *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION PROPERTY option defining the incident wave field.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the amplitude curve defining the fluid particle acceleration time history at the standoff point (“Amplitude curves,” Section 27.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual). This amplitude curve will be used to compute the fluid traction only: a solid surface requiring a pressure load cannot be specified on the data line of an *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION option if the ACCELERATION AMPLITUDE parameter is used.
This parameter is valid only for planar incident waves using the *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION PROPERTY, TYPE=PLANE option. Reflected loads, using the *INCIDENT WAVE REFLECTION option, are not permitted in this case.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the amplitude curve defining the fluid pressure time history at the standoff point (“Amplitude curves,” Section 27.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual). The corresponding fluid traction, if required, will be computed from the pressure amplitude reference.
Include this parameter to define a spherical incident wave using the *UNDEX CHARGE PROPERTY option. This parameter is valid only for spherical incident waves using the *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION PROPERTY, TYPE=SPHERE option.
