Team,

 

I am learning the Optistruct solve and Hyperstudy. I am doing the simple Plate test case study for Random vibration analysis using Optistruct solver.

Already I have benchmark in ANSYS and I want to compare with Altair. 

 

Attached the images.

 

Could you share the random vibration analysis procedure ?

    Hi,

     

    Random response analysis is a transfer function of FRF and is a mode based procedure.

     

    You need to have these load collectors like RLOAD2, DAREA, FREQi etc as inputs for FRF analysis.

     

    I presume ANSYS applies a unit load by default for FRF and then uses it as transfer function to RRA

     

    Thanks,
