The fixed time increment was set to the time taken by the load to go from one node to the next in transient simulation of a moving load using the DLOAD subroutine in Abaqus standard. Although the simulation proceeded smoothly, the results did not reflect the expected stresses or displacements. Several more attempts were carried out by varying the increments from this base value (in both directions), but the results remained unsatisfactory.
Could someone please offer a solution? Specifically, what is the ideal method for determining the time increment while simulating a moving load with DLoad? Any resources, etc.
Thanks

Hi,
Two things could have happened: your time increment hasn’t been small enough or too large for your simulation, or you entered the wrong data. I recommend rechecking your input data and entering the time increment with a smaller amount. Also, check this link below. You might find it useful.
