*INCIDENT WAVE
9.8 *INCIDENT WAVE: Define incident wave loading for a blast or scattering load on a
boundary.
The preferred interface for applying incident wave loading is the *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION
option used in conjunction with the *INCIDENT WAVE INTERACTION PROPERTY option.
The
alternative interface uses the *INCIDENT WAVE option to apply incident wave loading. The alternative
interface will be removed in a subsequent release.
The *INCIDENT WAVE PROPERTY option must be used in conjunction with the *INCIDENT WAVE
option. If the incident wave field includes a reflection off a plane outside the boundaries of the mesh, this
effect can be modeled with the *INCIDENT WAVE REFLECTION option.

*INCIDENT WAVE REFLECTION
Required parameter:
PROPERTY
Set this parameter equal to the name of the *INCIDENT WAVE PROPERTY option defining the
incident wave field.
Required, mutually exclusive parameters:
ACCELERATION AMPLITUDE
Set this parameter equal to the name of the amplitude curve defining the fluid particle acceleration
time history at the standoff point (“Amplitude curves,” Section 27.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis
User’s Manual). This amplitude curve will be used to compute the fluid traction only: a solid surface
requiring a pressure load cannot be specified on the data line of an *INCIDENT WAVE option if
the ACCELERATION AMPLITUDE parameter is used.
This parameter is valid only for planar incident waves using the *INCIDENT WAVE
PROPERTY, TYPE=PLANE option. Reflected loads, using the *INCIDENT WAVE
REFLECTION option, are not permitted in this case.
