PresetAcceleration

Prescribe acceleration on a given boundary in a given direction

The PresetAcceleration class takes an acceleration time history (provided using a function) as input and converts the acceleration into displacement using Newmark time integration method. This displacement is then prescribed at the user provided boundary in the direction corresponding to the displacement variable provided as input.
