Element-based loading
Your query was poorly formed. Please make corrections. |
Gravity loads as described in “Distributed loads,” Section 34.4.3, are the most commonly applied distributed loads for discrete particle elements. You define gravity loading in a specified direction, and the magnitude is input as acceleration.

Element output
Discrete particle elements have no element output associated with them. Resultant of all contact normal force CNORMF and resultant of all frictional shear force CSHEARF acting on a discrete particle element are the only output variables of interest currently available for this element, see “Abaqus/Explicit output variable identifiers,” Section 4.2.2, for details.
