Example of Actual Model for Eigenvalue Analysis

Actual Model Examples for Eigenvalue Analysis

Analysis model

A list of examples of the actual verification models for eigenvalue analysis is presented in Table 9.3.1. The model shapes of EX07 (turbine rotor) and EX08 (spring) are also shown in Figs. 9.3.1 and 9.3.2. The other model shapes are the same as those of the examples previously discussed in the elastic static analysis, which has the same verification content. The examples of the element types 731 and 741 require a separate direct method solver.
