Optional parameters
- FRICTION DAMPING
-
Set FRICTION DAMPING=NO (default) to ignore friction-induced damping effects.
Set FRICTION DAMPING=YES to include friction-induced damping effects.
- NORMALIZATION
-
Set NORMALIZATION=DISPLACEMENT (default for SIM-based
analyses) to normalize the complex eigenvectors so that the real part of the
largest value in each vector is unity and the imaginary part is zero.
Set NORMALIZATION=MODAL (the only option for analyses that are not based on the
SIM architecture) to normalize only the
complex eigenvectors of the projected system.
- PROPERTY EVALUATION
-
Set this parameter equal to the frequency at which to evaluate
frequency-dependent properties for viscoelasticity, springs, and dashpots
during complex eigenvalue extraction. If this parameter is omitted,
Abaqus/Standard
will evaluate the material properties associated with frequency-dependent
springs and dashpots at zero frequency and will not consider the contributions
from frequency-domain viscoelasticity in the
COMPLEX FREQUENCY step.
- STIFFNESS PROJECTION
-
Set STIFFNESS PROJECTION=YES (default) to project the stiffness operator on the modal
subspace.
Set STIFFNESS PROJECTION=NO to skip projection of the stiffness operator on the modal
subspace. In this case the diagonal matrix of the real eigenvalues
corresponding to the modal subspace basis vectors is used as a modal stiffness
operator and some advanced mechanical effects (such as friction-induced
effects, frequency-dependent properties, and other effects) are ignored. This
option can significantly reduce the computational time in the stiffness
projection phase of the analysis, but it should be used with caution.
Set STIFFNESS PROJECTION=CONTACT ONLY if advanced mechanical properties (for example, friction) are
localized in the contact area only and the rest of the model has the same
properties as in the preceding real eigenfrequency extraction analysis. In this
case the modal stiffness operator is combined from the diagonal matrix of the
real eigenvalues corresponding to the modal subspace basis vectors and the
projection of the additional contact stiffness terms on the modal subspace.
This option can significantly reduce the computational time in the stiffness
projection phase of the analysis, but it should be used with caution.
- UNSTABLE MODES ONLY
-
Set this parameter equal to the cutoff value for complex modes. Only complex
modes with the real part of the eigenvalue higher than the cutoff value are
processed for output. The default value of this parameter is 0.0. If this
parameter is omitted, all complex modes are output.
Optional, mutually exclusive parameters
- LEFT EIGENVECTORS
-
Include this parameter to request left complex eigenvectors. This parameter
is relevant only in analyses that are based on the
SIM architecture.
- RIGHT EIGENVECTORS
-
Include this parameter (default) to request right complex eigenvectors.
Data line
for complex eigenvalue extraction
- First (and only) line
-
-
Number of complex eigenmodes to be extracted. If this entry is omitted, all
the eigenmodes available in the projected subspace, formulated on the basis of
all eigenmodes computed in the preceding
FREQUENCY step and possibly reduced by using the
SELECT EIGENMODES option, will be extracted.
-
Minimum frequency of interest, in cycles per time. If this field is left
blank, no minimum is set.
-
Maximum frequency of interest, in cycles per time. If this field is left
blank, no maximum is set.
-
Shift point, S, in cycles per time
(S ≥ 0). The eigenvalues with the imaginary part closest
to this point are extracted. The default value is zero.
