    Please use transient animation mode to post process output of Frequency response analysis.Modal animation should be used only for modal analysis outputs.

    Hi @Sai Vignesh

     

    The transient animation displays the model in its timestep positions as calculated by the analysis code.  

     

    Modal animation creates and displays an animation sequence that starts and ends with the original position of the structure.  The deforming frames are calculated based on a sinusoidal function, and the results are also calculated as the same.
