🔍 Mastering Vibrations with the Modal Analysis Add-On for RFEM 6 🏗️
In construction projects, natural frequency vibrations can pose serious risks to stability and safety. That's why it's crucial to analyze these frequencies for long-term durability. Our Modal Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 is designed to help you accurately determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of your models—be it members, surfaces, or solids.
🔧 Key Features:
▪️ Automatic Mass Consideration: Incorporates masses from self-weight automatically.
▪️ Flexible Mass Definitions: Easily define additional masses—nodal, linear, or surface—and even inertia masses directly in your load cases.
▪️ Standard-Compliant: Comes with preset combination coefficients for standards like EC 8, SIA 261, and ASCE 7.
▪️ Advanced Analysis Options: Analyze different mass or stiffness modifications, and consider failed supports or members/surfaces/solids.
▪️ Customizable Mass Matrix: Choose from diagonal, consistent, or unit matrices, with user-defined degrees of freedom.
▪️ Comprehensive Mode Shape Analysis: Determine the number of mode shapes with user-defined or automatic methods, including those to reach effective modal mass factors or maximum natural frequency.
▪️ Detailed Results: Get eigenvalue, angular frequency, natural frequency, and period results, with masses displayed in tables and graphics.
▪️ Visualization & Documentation: Animate mode shapes, apply various scaling options, and document everything in a detailed printout report.
With the Modal Analysis add-on, ensure the safety and stability of your projects by mastering the dynamics of natural frequencies. 💪
