Hi, I must perfom a Frequency Response Analysis.

In particular i've a pressurized cylinder subject to a Impulse load with frequency of 1 Hz and magnitude 0 - 3000 psi - 0 (sin function load).

i want the response on first 5 natural modal frequency.

how i must set the analysis ?

 

Thank you

    Hi @Fabiano.Pagliarini Here is a sample tutorial for Modal frequency analysis. This should help you to model FRF deck.

    Hi @Prakash Pagadala. I know this tutorial.

    I ve 2 problems:

    1) I want to apply a unifom pressure on a surfarce with about 30000 nodes (my model is similar to a pressurized cylinder) in normal direction . Is it possible this thing in DAREA card?

    2) How can I apply my semi-sin load (0 - 3000 psi - 0 @ 1 Hz) on TABLED1?

    Thank you

    Hi @Fabiano.Pagliarini

     

    yes you can use pressure as load type which can be refereed in RLOAD# card.

     

    I am trying to understand the loading. SO is it like at 0Hz the load is zero, at 1 it is 3000 and at 1 it is again zero?

     

    If the above is correct then it cannot be a sine wave. Can you provide the right curve values.

    Prakash Pagadala,

    the load spectrum in time domain is:  

    0 psi @ t=0 sec; 
    3000 psi @ t=1 sec; 
    0 psi @ t=2 sec. 
    What I put on TABLED1 and DAREA? 

    In DAREA, i can not allocate the pressure (3000 psi) in right way, because there isn't the possibility (i'm not expert in dynamic analyzes !) 
    to assign a pressure on a cylindrical coord system (in radial direction) or normal to sufaces.

    is it possible to use a generic PLOAD4 to assign this pressure and refer it on RLOAD card?  

    Thank's for your support.

    Hi @Fabiano.Pagliarini

     

    You can use PLOAD4 in RLOAD. RLOAD is supports PLOADx as excited load. You can give PLOAD as 1 and provide the 3000 factor in tabled1
