Use dynamic analysis when inertial or damping effects must be considered. You can perform linear and nonlinear dynamic analysis of systems subjected to dynamic loading environment, including base excitations.
Linear dynamic analysis is based on natural frequencies and mode shapes. It calculates the response of the structure by adding the contributions of different modes. You can create modal time history studies, harmonic studies, and random vibration studies.
Nonlinear dynamic analysis handles nonlinear materials, contact conditions, and large displacements.
