ModalAnalysis

Solve for the unforced modal response using frequencies and mode shape vectors.

Fields

  • num_eigenvalues: Integer, default = 0

    Number of eigenvalues (frequencies) to solve for.

  • max_frequency: Float, default = 0.0

    Maximum eigenvalue to solve for.

  • min_frequency: Float, default = 0.0

    Minimum eigenvalue to solve for.

  • unconstrained_dofs: Vector of Integer, default = []

    If there are Dirichlet BCs but they do not constrain all the rigid body modes, the remaining modes have to be given here:

    0 = displacements in the $x$ direction

    1 = displacements in the $y$ direction

    2 = displacements in the $z$ direction

    3 = rotations in the $x$-$y$ plane

    4 = rotations in the $y$-$z$ plane

    5 = rotations in the $z$-$x$ plane

    Note that if no Dirichlet BCs are given, Reflex automatically chooses all six modes as unconstrained.
