Can you attach or post the step-definition part of your input file? (i.e. all the interactions, surface definitions, interaction definitions, etc). That might help us identify the problem.

Fantastic, thanks! I wrote a quick-check in Excel, and the math works out. Is this the response you'd expect for a square wave input close to the resonant frequency?
Thanks again,

I'm a little rusty on my circuit analysis, so I was hoping someone more well-versed in circuit analysis could give me a little help in figuring out a filter I'm interested in. I believe it is a Butterworth filter.
I'm a mechanical engineer, and it'd be easier to set up the differential...
I've done a parametric study of crippling of a plate simply supported on 3 edges with 1 free edge (the free edge is not a loaded edge), just like a typical flange. I've compared the results to a classical hand calc.
The problem is that my FEM predictions (linear eigenvalue, Abaqus 6.7) are...
