Structural dynamics of systems under dynamic loads: A review

The object of the research is dynamic load analysis, which plays a fundamental role in structural engineering, ensuring that buildings and infrastructure remain stable under diverse forces such as seismic events, wind induced vibrations, and machinery enervated loads. Method. This study presents a detailed review comparison of widely used software tools, including ANSYS, SAP2000, ABAQUS, and LSDYNA, to assess their capabilities in handling dynamic load calculations. Key factors examined include computational speed, accuracy in predicting structural responses, and adaptability to a range of dynamic scenarios. Results. Notable findings reveal ANSYS excels in transient response computations, ABAQUS demonstrates exceptional reliability in extreme condition simulations, and LSDYNA proves highly effective in modelling impact scenarios. By outlining the specific strengths and limitations of these tools, the study provides engineers with actionable guidance for selecting software aligned with project needs.
