Hi
I want to perform the following multiplication in ANSYS 11.0 multiphysics:
{r}^T * {modeshape} where {r}^T is the transposition of the loadvector
I've applied gravity loads to a model using the ACEL command. When i do a modal analysis, I'm capable of writing each modeshape into to a...
Hi
I've defined a Vector {R} 100x1 and a vector {U} 100x1 in ANSYS using making an array. Then i want to calculate the product {U}^T*{R}.
I cant find a command to get the transpose of a vector, but I can define the {U} as 1x100 instead.
I have done that but if try to make the multiplication...
Realizing that the modeshapes are normalized to mass by default was very helpfull. Thanks.
I addition to this:
If you for some reason need to normalize the mode shapes to unity, which I had too, there is a way to.
I found out that ANSYS calculates the kinetic energy by E_kin=1/2*[PHI]^T * [M]...
For analysis outside ANSYS i need the Modal marix PHI and the modal stiffness defined by
[PHI]^T * [K] * [PHI]
the modal mass defined by
[PHI]^T * [M] * [PHI]
Using substructure and a modal analysis this is easyli done for a simple model by making an output file, and arranging the data in...
