Assigning frequencies from all loads to subcases
One way to assign forcing frequencies to subcases in a solution is to select and edit subcases, and create a Forcing Frequencies modeling object that uses the list form, for example:
Use Frequencies from All Loads (Freq) in the Simcenter Nastran FEM acoustics environment.
Use Frequencies from All Loads list form in the Simcenter 3D Acoustics BEM environment.
You can assign forcing frequencies to all subcases in a solution by using the Use Frequencies from All Loads per Subcase command. This command automatically creates and assigns a forcing frequency modeling object that uses the list form, for example:
Use Frequencies from All Loads (Freq) in the Simcenter Nastran or MSC Nastran environment.
Use Frequencies from All Loads list form in the Simcenter 3D Acoustics BEM environment.
Note:
To assign forcing frequencies to a subset of subcases, in the Simulation Navigator, select the desired subcases, right-click one of them and choose Edit. Then create a Forcing Frequencies modeling object in the Solution Step dialog box.
