10 Random Analysis

The document describes conducting a random vibration analysis using MSC Nastran on a plate model. It provides objectives, model description, and suggested steps. The model is a plate with a large mass attached at an edge. It will be subjected to base excitation defined by a provided power spectral density. The analysis will determine displacement and acceleration power spectral densities at various locations using the modal solution method with 3% damping. An input file following the suggested steps is provided as an example.

WORKSHOP 10

Random Analysis

Objectives:
Define a frequency-varying excitation.
Define load set power spectral density functions.
Produce a MSC.Nastran input file from a dynamic math
model created in Workshop 1.
Submit the file for random analysis in MSC.Nastran.
Compute nodal displacements for desired frequency
domain.

Model Description:
For the plate model, enforce a base motion in the z-direction described
by the following power spectral density, (PSD).

Use the modal method with a large mass attached to the edge with an
RBE2 entry.
Below is a finite element representation of the flat plate. It also
contains the loads and boundary constraints.
Determine:
The response displacement and acceleration PSD at the
drive location, (the large mass).
The displacement PSD at the corner and center of the free
edge, (Grids 33 and 55).
Use modal solution.
Assume a constant critical damping ratio of 3% across the
whole frequency range.

Suggested Exercise Steps:

Reference a previously created dynamic math model,
plate.bdf, by using the INCLUDE statement.
Attach the large mass to the edge of the plate (CONM2 and
RBE2).
Specify modal damping as a tabular function of natural
frequency (TABDMP1).
Define the frequency-varying tip load (DAREA and
RLOAD2).
Define a set of frequencies to be used in the solution (FREQ,
FREQ1, and FREQ 4).
Specify Spectral Density (RANDPS and TABRND1).
Prepare the model for a direct transient analysis (SOL 111).
Request acceleration responses at base, tip center, and
opposite corner.
Generate an input file and submit it to the MSC.Nastran
solver for direct transient analysis.
