Wear simulation

Greetings team, I am conducting sliding wear simulation analysis in PrePoMax. I have three parameters; load, sliding distance and speed. My question is how do i input speed into the software. Is there any feature or option that I can use?

Velocity of the sliding part ? Just apply a displacement boundary condition with optional amplitude if it’s supposed to be time-dependent. The part will move by a given distance in a given (step) time.

In the Archard model integrated into PrePoMax, the speed has no impact on the analysis results. Every time increment is solved as a static solution.

Thank you, for the clarification
