Function for Detecting Instabilities in Structure

What is the purpose of the “Calculate eigenvector for unstable model…” option in RF‑STABILITY?


Answer:

This feature is intended to detect modeling errors in a structure that may lead to instability. With this method, it is possible to calculate such systems and to graphically determine the instability cause.

This feature is not suitable for the following problems:

  • Calculation aborts due to overloading (stability problems)
  • Determination of buckling curves and buckling modes

If the system is stable and the stability problems only occur during the calculation according to the second-order analysis, this function sets all results to 0.

A detailed description of solving the instability problems is included in FAQ 3045.
