Workshop 10 Goals
Goal:
Workshop Supplement
In this workshop our goal is to explore the harmonic response of the machine frame (Frame.x_t) shown here. The frequency response as well as stress and deformation at a specific frequency will be determined.
Harmonic Analysis
. . . Workshop 10 Assumptions
We will assume the frame is constructed of structural steel. The frame is assumed to be a weldment and is modeled as a continuum (no contact).
Workshop Supplement
We assume the frame is designed to support a device which imparts a 400 N force in the Y direction operating at a frequency of 200 Hz. The device is attached at 2 different locations which act 60 degrees out of phase with one another. The damping ratio for the steel structure is assumed to be a constant 0.02.

Workshop 10 Preprocessing
Change the working unit system to metric meters.
1. Units > Metric (m, kg, N, C, s).
Workshop Supplement
1.
Before proceeding with a harmonic analysis well first perform a modal analysis on the structure. While not required before a harmonic solution, it is good practice to gain understanding of the structures natural frequencies. This can be an aid in choosing harmonic results which are expected to be of greater importance.
