Goals

Customer Training Material

Our goal is to simulate the modal response of the tension link (shown below) in both a stressed and unstressed state. Specifically, we will load the link with a 4000 N tensile load and compare the natural frequency to that of the unloaded component.

When the schematic is correctly set up it should appear as shown here.

Drop Target

The drop target from the previous page indicates the outcome of the drag and drop operation. Cells A2 thru A4 from system (A) are shared by system (B). Similarly the solution cell A6 is transferred to the system B setup. In fact, the structural solution drives the buckling analysis.
