What units should I choose? How can I read the analysis results correctly?

Hello, I selected gram, mm, ms and N units in the Hypermesh program. I could not understand what the unit of the first frequency value that came out of the modal analysis was. I attach the picture of the analysis result. I would be very happy if you could say numerical values ​​together with their units.

I'm still not very good at studying units and analysis results. I hope I will learn :)

 

Actually, I have one more question. I want to choose my units ton, mm, s and N. But there is no undertone of hypermesh either. Or I don't know. He will be very happy if you help. I am adding the relevant images.

Regards,

    Hi,

     

    the unit of the frequency value is Hertz (Hz), which is also defined as cycles per second (s-1).

    A very small (near 0) frequency value indicates a rigid body mode.

    The tonne unit is MGG (megagram) in Hypermesh.

    Thank you, so when I select tonne (mgg), N, mm and s, will i read in MPa on my result screen?imageFor example is this 43.62 MPa?

    Glad to help.

    Following tonne (mgg), N, mm, s units should give MPa.

    Always follow a consistent set of units:

    Yes, the frequency units are always Hz.

    You need to make sure to use consistent units for stiffness and mass in order to get the correct frequency result.
