Help me please!! I've done modal analysis in ansys on my structure; I want to know:
1. modal participation factor
2. mass excited by each mode
I've got the modal shape, the frequencies of the modes.
Please help me!!
 
Prior to issuing a solve command, redirect output to a text file, like this:

/output,outputfile_name,out

when your model has solved, redirect output (back to the screen for example)

/output


This is much easier if you have a command file i.e.

/prep7
model creation commands...
...
...
...
/solu
boundary conditions...
...
...
...
save
/output,outputfile,out
solve
fini
/output



All of your modal mass participation factors etc. will appear in this output file.

Cheers,
