Questions about frequency response analysis
Dear all
I have some questions about frequency response analysis which motivated force is on the bases.
1. When I use DAREA for force, the dof on the force direction should be released. Is that right? For the result shows at 0Hz, the displacement response is very high. Is that right?
2. When I use SPCD for DIS, VEL and ACC. The constraints should not be released. Is that right?
Thanks!

Hi,
DAREA is used when load is in the form of Force.using Tabled1 card you can apply dynamic load.For 0 hz displacement should be 0.
Yes when you have load in the form of DIS,VEL & ACC one should use SPCD card.Refer SPCD userguide.

Thanks for your answering. But my question is when the dynamic force applied on the constrained base. I need to release the dof of the force direction. The result shows that at 0 Hz, the displacement response is very high. Why?
Could you share us input deck along with out file?

yes, thanks!
I see your load is in the form of Force ( DAREA ).What is the actual scenario for flat plate.How it is fixed & what type of load is acting?

Thanks for your patience. I want to analyse base vibration. The exciting force is applied on the base constrained. Just like a building in the earthquake. The exciting foce is from the base. Is it clearly?

Hi,
For any base motions excitation (ACC / DISP /VEL) you need to constrain the same node.
Create an SPC, SPCD pair, with the SPC constraining the dof that is to have the enforced displacement and the SPCD defining the magnitude and dof of the enforced displacement. Both must be referenced in the subcase (loadstep) definition.
Will check if I have any runnable deck to share.

Thanks for your answering, I have done as you said. In my example, I use SPC constrain 5 dofs and DAREA for the last dof. But the results shows that at 0Hz, the displacement response is extremely high. I don't know the reason.
