Understanding your product’s dynamic behavior is key to optimizing its performance. Modal analysis is a straightforward way to analyze how your product responds to dynamic forces. With the right excitation, even the cold steel can resonate like a beating heart.
Setting Up Modal Analysis in 3DEXPERIENCE
- Mesh the geometry
- Define the stiffness and density of your materials
- Define how the structure is supported
Once these steps are complete, 3DEXPERIENCE will calculate the resonant frequencies and mode shapes of your structure, providing valuable insights into its vibration behavior.
A Festive Example: The Steel Christmas Ornament
Take, for instance, our steel Christmas ornament. Using modal analysis, we can visualize how it vibrates under dynamic conditions, revealing its unique resonant frequencies and mode shapes.
