Plot shape of a beam in frequency response analysis for certain frequency
Hi,
I'm running a modal frequency analysis and I would like to plot the physical shape of the beam for a particular frequency. I would like to have Nº of a node in X and displacement en Y. I don't know how to put No. of a node in X neither do it for a specific frequency. Could someone help me?
I don't really see much difference in HyperView, I guess this is because the mode is normalized. Right? Is it possible to see the real shape?

For this example, the beam lies along the x-axis and the deformation is in the x-y plane
In HyperView, create a plot of y displacement of the deformed shape for the frequency of interest
The node markers are created in HyperView>Preferences>Options
Create a measure of type = Node Path and add the beam nodes in order from one end to the other
From the measure panel, create a curve of the contour value vs distance
The curve that is created in HyperGraph is the deformed shape of the beam
Since the curve is value vs distance, the node ID is no longer available from the data. You can add node numbers using HyperGraph notes. Create a note using the icon below the view window...
...and edit the note in the browser
