FEA Solver background of Modal analysis


The equilibrium equation for a structure performing free vibration appears as the eigenvalue problem:

     [K-λM]x = 0
where K is the stiffness matrix of the structure and M is the mass matrix.  Damping is neglected.  The solution of the eigenvalue problem yields n eigenvalues λ, where n is the number of degrees of freedom.  The vector x is the eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue.
The eigenvalue problem is solved using a matrix method called the Lanczos method.  Not all eigenvalues are required -- only a small number of the lowest eigenvalues are normally calculated.

The natural frequency fi follows directly from the eigenvalue λ.

 
In NASTRAN solver, in order to run a normal modes analysis, an EIGRL bulk data entry needs to be given because it defines the number of modes to be extracted.  The EIGRL card needs to be referenced by a METHOD statement in a SUBCASE in the subcase information section.

  1. I was depressed when doctor told me that I have been diagnosed with Herpes disease… I thought about my Family, I know my Family will face a serious problem when I'm gone, I lost hope and I wept all day, but one day I was searching the internet I found Dr.ezomo contact number. +2349056460552   I called him and he guided me.

  2. I'm excited to share my incredible herpes journey here!
    After many years of ineffective medical treatments, countless prayers, and fasting, God led me to Dr.OIHA .
    I stumbled upon Dr.OLIHA African traditional herbal remedies online, and people's positive testimonials gave me hope.
    I reached out to him, ordered the herbal cure, and he guided me through the process.
    After 2 weeks of treatment, I was completely cured of both HSV 1 and HSV 2. Hospital tests confirmed I'm herpes free!
    I retested 2 months later at another hospital, and the results were still negative!
    Dr OLIHA changed my life, restoring my health and dignity. I'm forever grateful and urge anyone struggling with herpes to contact him for their own herbal cure. His remedies truly work!
    Anyone can reach Dr.OLIHA via email at oliha.miraclemedicine@gmail.com
