Define flutter method and aerodynamic conditions

  1. Choose Home tab→Properties group→Modeling Objects .

  2. In the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box, from the Type list, select Aerodynamic Flutter Data and click Create.

  3. In the Aerodynamic Flutter Data dialog box, from the Flutter Analysis Method list, select a flutter analysis method.

  4. Define the aerodynamic conditions, such as density ratios, Mach numbers, and so on, by selecting a previously defined modeling object or clicking Create Modeling Object to create a new one. The aerodynamic conditions that you must define depend on the aeroelastic flutter analysis method.

  5. In the Number of Eigenvalues box, type the value for the number of eigenvalues to output.

  6. Click OK.

  7. In the Modeling Objects Manager dialog box, click Close.
