3.4 Dynamics Enhancements • Mode Superposition method allows non-proportional damping • Block Lanczos solver enhancements • Full harmonic analysis allows prestress effects Training Manual 001419 15 Aug 2000 3.4-1
Non-proportional damping available with mode superposition method at 5.7 Modal analysis carried out using Q-R damped eigensolver Allows all types of damping including element damping Extremely fast compared to full method Dynamics Enhancements Q-R Damp & Mode Superposition Only applicable in a full or reduced harmonic Element damping valid at 5.7 Frequency dependent damping valid Alpha damping valid Material damping valid Beta damping valid Training Manual 001419 15 Aug 2000 3.4-2
Dynamics Enhancements … Q-R Damp & Mode Superposition Applications • Models where a “spring-damper” component needs to be represented by a single stiffness and damping constant. • For example: • components of an automobile suspension system • dashpot mechanism on a door • simplified bearings on a rotor shaft • dampers used in a nuclear piping assembly Training Manual 001419 15 Aug 2000 3.4-3
Dynamics Enhancements … Q-R Damp & Mode Superposition Procedure • Modal analysis • MODOPT, qrdamp • Define damping* • ALPHAD; BETAD; MP,DAMP (as before) • New: element damping is also allowed, via COMBIN7, COMBIN14, COMBIN37, COMBIN40, CONT178 etc. • Mode superposition • Transient analysis: TRNOPT,msup • Harmonic analysis: HROPT,msup *All damping must be specified in the modal analysis step Training Manual 001419 15 Aug 2000 3.4-4
Dynamics Enhancements … Q-R Damp & Mode Superposition • Limitations: • Damping specified during mode superposition is ignored. • QR damping does not support DMPRAT and MDAMP. • Gap conditions (GP) are not supported. Training Manual 001419 15 Aug 2000 3.4-5
