Loads and Result Options for Dynamic Analysis
Loads
-
Time-varying force and pressure
-
Initial conditions defined as a finite acceleration, velocity or displacement at time t =0
-
Uniform and selected base excitation defined as time-varying acceleration, velocity or displacement
-
Peak amplitudes of force and pressure versus frequency
-
Uniform and selected base excitation defined as peak amplitudes of acceleration, velocity or displacement versus frequency.
-
Power spectral density (psd) curves of force and pressure
-
Uniform and selected base excitation defined as psd of acceleration, velocity or displacement
Result Options
-
Contour plots of displacements, accelerations, velocities, stresses, strains for a specified solution step, or extreme values across all solution steps.
-
Response graphs of displacement, velocities, and acceleration at specified locations. For random vibrations, you can plot rms values for the whole frequency range or psd versus frequency.
-
Listing displacements, accelerations, velocities, stresses, strains, and reaction forces.
