Dynamic Response Tutorial

This document provides a tutorial on using Abaqus to analyze the dynamic response of a 2D bridge structure subjected to a time-varying load. It describes 29 steps for building and analyzing a finite element model of the bridge, including creating parts, materials, sections, loads, boundary conditions, and meshes. It also describes how to submit the job, monitor the analysis, and view results such as deformed shapes and displacement histories. The overall goal is to simulate the bridge's dynamic response over time as a result of the applied load.
