Frequency Analysis Graphs

Three new graphs are added to the results from frequency and linear dynamic studies: frequency versus mode number, frequency versus effective mass participation factor, and frequency versus cumulative mass participation factor.

Available for SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional and SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium.

Run a frequency or linear dynamic study. Right-click Results and select Define Frequency Response Graph. You can select to plot graphs of:
  • Frequency versus mode number
  • Frequency versus effective mass participation for each X, Y, and Z direction.
  • Frequency versus cumulative effective mass participation for each X, Y, and Z direction.

Plotting the frequency versus the mass participation factors helps you identify if the number of modes considered during the vibration analysis are sufficient to capture the actual dynamic response of the system.
