Laminate Dynamics
Laminate Dynamics Details View subpanel (Simulation Navigator)
When you select the Normal Modes [#] node in the Simulation Navigator, the Laminate Dynamics Details View subpanel displays the frequency, the viscous damping factor, and the damped frequency for each normal mode. The number in the square brackets indicates the number of active normal modes.
| Mode | Frequency(Hz) | %Viscous | Damped Frequency(Hz) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.005e+002 | 2.000000 | 1.005e+002 |
| 2 | 1.009e+002 | 2.000000 | 1.009e+002 |
| 3 | 1.119e+002 | 2.000000 | 1.119e+002 |
| 4 | 1.314e+002 | 2.000000 | 1.314e+002 |
| 5 | 1.576e+002 | 2.000000 | 1.576e+002 |
| 6 | 1.614e+002 | 2.000000 | 1.614e+002 |
| 7 | 1.642e+002 | 2.000000 | 1.642e+002 |
