    Harmonic response in Algor

    Hi Gbor, First, thanks for your answer, Your assumption's right : I'm performing a frequency response analysis since i'm not interrested in transient effects. I've tried "the base acceleration mode", unfortunately, I get an error message which says "ground excitation force is not avalaible"...

    Harmonic response in Algor

    I'm pretty new to Algor (with the linear dynamics extender), on which I've spent a few weeks.I easily got used to modal analysis and had good results. I'm now trying to apply a pair of harmonic forces which frequency is a natural one. I want to set the amplitude of the forces and a damping in...

    Looking for a cheap, easy to use FEA soft with easy assembly import

    I really agree with you Chris, considering CAD softwares offering crapy useless FEA software. This is marketing... However, FEA packages can sometimes offer some good in-build CAD (Abaqus does, for sure). I've done several geometry modification with Abaqus allthough it was on an imported STEP...

    Looking for a cheap, easy to use FEA soft with easy assembly import

    Hi GBor, I used to run steady state direct dynamic calculation on Abaqus, because I didn't achieve to make it with the "submodal" way. I used to run dicrete frequency response : calculation with complex displacement calculated on 360° phase for each frequency step. But modal response is better...

    Looking for a cheap, easy to use FEA soft with easy assembly import

    The most important for me is to perform some steady-state dynamic analysis. Defining damping has taken a lot of time (by using Rayleigh damping)to fit result with measurements. For this reason using some input files I created in the past using Abaqus CAE would be great. Here's the point: Algor...

    Looking for a cheap, easy to use FEA soft with easy assembly import

    Hi, I'm looking for a software that could match for working on ultrasonic transducers. I used to perform dynamic analysis with Abaqus (displacement vs frequency) using Piezoelectric elements. I also used Ansys Designspace for modal analysis and it's been great for CAD assemblies, unlike Abaqus...
