Workshop 5.

Pre-Stressed Vibration
Analysis
WS5.2: Pre-Stressed Vibration Analysis
Workshop 5.2 - Goals Workshop Supplement

• 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.
