Frequency response analyisis

User: "Toon"

Hi

 

I am performing a modal frequency response analysis with OptiStruct. The model I have gives the displacement as output. However, I am interested in the acceleration as output. I tried obtaining this by checking the acceleration box under load steps => load case => subcase options output, but I could not access the acceleration result when in hyperview. Am I missing something? I can calculate the acceleration from the displacements but I feel like I should be able to get the acceleration results directly from the model.

 

Thx

    Hi Toon,

     

    Please, can you try to request Acceleration output from Global-output-request control cards as shown below and check.

    Hi Premanand,

     

    Thank you for your reply. I will try the solution you proposed.

    Additionally, I assume I should also check the acceleration box under the subcase options of the load case, or should I leave it on displacement?

     

    Thank you

    I think it doesn't matter. for a safer side, uncheck the acceleration box under the subcase option.

     

    thank you

    hi modeators,

    I performend frequency response analysis for a sandwich plate but on FRF plot, resonance peaks did not appar why, what is problem ?

    can you help me?

    can you apply DAREA on rigid instead of single grid.
