Normal Modes

PAT322: Advanced Engineering Analysis with MSC/PATRAN Advanced FEA

Modal Analysis of a Thin Annular Plate: Create a model of a simple supported thin annular plate. Perform a modal analysis to calculate the first 5 natural frequencies and mode shapes. You will then compare these results to theoretical values.

 

NAS120: Linear Static and Normal Nodes Analysis

Normal Modes Analysis of a Simply-Supported Stiffened Plate: Convert a Linear Static analysis input file to a Normal Modes analysis input file, generate weight information and review results.

 

Normal Modes Analysis of a Simply-Supported Stiffened Plate: Convert a Linear Static analysis input file to a Normal Modes analysis input file, generate weight information and review results.

 

Normal Modes - Rigid Element Analysis with RBE2 and CONM2: Create a geometric representation of a tube, define the model by plate elements, define the weights of the model and run normal modes analysis.

 

Modal Analysis of Interpolation Constraint Elements and Concentrated Mass: Replace rigid elements with interpolation constraint elements in lesson 16 and run again for modal analysis.
