Link Modal Shape and Natural Frequencies to FRF Analysis
Hi,
i have to carry out a modal frequency response analysis with optistruct. I need to study the acceleration FRF of 3 nodes on a panel (with an impulse force applied) in a range 50-5000 Hz.
I create the EIGRL card with V1=0 and V2=6500, supposing to use the 30% more of the upper value needed for the FRF. My problem is that this process take a lot of time, i suppose because of the high number of mode to compute.
Since my geometry doesn't change, but i have to change just the load, can i carry out the modal analysis, once for all, and then link the results obtained to the FRF analysis? In order to not calculate every time the mode and save time.
Thanks for support.

Hi @ItalicBike
I think EIGVSAVE and EIGVRETRIVE can be useful for your case.
Please check these two cards in OptiStruct help and this link: http://blog.altair.co.kr/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/saving_and_retrieving_normal_modes_analysis_results.pdf
