Abaqus Amplitude Skill

This skill defines time-varying load and boundary condition profiles in Abaqus. Amplitudes act as multipliers that scale loads/BCs over time.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

• "Gradually increase the load", "ramp up the force"
• "Cyclic loading", "sinusoidal excitation"
• "Pulse load", "impulse", "impact loading"
• "Time-varying boundary condition", "loading history"
• "Smooth transition", "avoid sudden load application"
• "Earthquake input", "harmonic excitation"

Route elsewhere:

• Constant static loads (no amplitude needed) → /abaqus-load
• Initial conditions, predefined fields → /abaqus-field
• Dynamic analysis setup → /abaqus-dynamic-analysis
