Transient stress (modal superposition) feature

Transient stress (modal superposition) feature

Andrew Sartorelli suggested I post this here.

Several releases ago when the product was an Algor product, Simulation Mechanical had a feature that is no longer available. The attached picture illustrates an example as follows. Say you are designing a rotating eccentric vibrator and use two sinusoidal forces applied to a node that are 90 degrees out of phase and perpendicular to each other to simulate the rotating eccentric force as shown in the attachment. In older releases when running an animation in results, those forces would show up as arrows with varying magnitude and direction. As one arrow increased in length, the one 90 degrees to it would decrease, and when that one got to zero it would start to increase in the opposite direction etc. This was a ncie feature as it provided a visual representatin that the force was applied at the intended node and it was especially nice when demonstrating the results to a client. Do you think this could be reinstated? Thanks. Phil Quenzi pjquenzi@gmail.com

Can you attach a Simulation Mechanical archive file that shows the setup for such a problem so we can replicate this issue.

Sualp.Ozel,

I would gladly send you a simple model to look at if I could figure out how to attach it. Can you tell me how? Thanks.
