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.
