The button
contains the respons of each eigen mode to the dynamic load.
- In the first pull down menu, you choose the dynamic load case for which you would like to see the response of the structure.
- If this dynamic load case has sub-load cases, you can select the appropriate sub-load case in the second pull down menu.
- In the third pull down menu you choose the eigen modes to be displayed. You can also show the responses of all eigen modes in 1 graph.
- When you select the option ‘Global scale’, the amplitude of the eigen mode will be rescaled with respect to the maximum amplitude. If you uncheck this, the response of eigen mode will be displayed as large as possible. Example:
| Respons of all eigen modes together | Respons of the green eigen mode | Respons of the green eigen mode |
| The amplitude of the green eigen mode is very small compared to the red eigen mode. Repons of the green and red eigen mode. | ||
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
This window helps you to
- Determine which eigen mode reacts a lot or not to a certain dynamic loading.
- Decide whether a quasi-static correction is justified or not. If the eigen frequency of the mode is much larger than the frequency of the imposed loading, the mode will react in a ‘quasi statical’ way – the amplitude has the same shape of the defined loading. In that case, you can use the quasi-static correction.
The response’s time frame is identical to the period you have filled out in
.
