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?

I checked your files.Boundary condition seems to be incorrect.That is the reason you get high displacement at 0 hz.

How to correct them? If I constraint the dof of force direction, the result is always 0 at all frequencies.

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?
