, and comprises of a
list of nodal points and the element connectivity. In modal analysis, the model creation is
performed in a similar manner to that used for linear analysis. Full listings for both the reduced
and full analyses are found on the class webpages using filenames BLADE1.INP and
BLADE2.INP.

The above table shows the differences in
eigenvalue obtained from two of the available
modal analysis options, reduced and full
subspace methods. The full method gives
more accurate answers, however, takes
somewhat longer to solve. The reduced
method provides acceptable results for the
first two modes yielding results within 10% of the full solution. Increasing the total (TOTAL
command) number of master degrees of freedom will produce a more accurate result.
Animation of Displaced Shapes
Since mode shapes represent the dynamic behaviour of a structure at a given frequency, it is
useful to view these in animation form. ANSYS provides a pseudo-dynamic display by storing
a number of frames as segments in memory and quickly redisplays these to provide dynamic
motion of the deformed shape. Indeed, variations contours can also be displayed using this
feature.
A typical command sequence to produce animations is shown as follows
/SEG,MULTI
C*** Set up animation frames to repeat five times on
displaced shape
ANMAC,5,1,1,1
/SEG,OFF
C*** Execute animation
ANIM
Using this sequence will generate a dynamic display.
NOTE: With the advent of ANSYS 5.5 and later by using the MENU picks, animation can be
viewed and saved as AVI files. (Plot Controls Animate, then choose item from list.)
