General
The resonant analysis is performed on the beam that is warped due to its self weight in the initial state.
The tensile force is generated in the beam. The resonant frequency is changed due to the warp.
Analysis with the initial stress taken into account is performed. See Analysis with the initial stress taken into account for the details.
Analysis 1 is a static analysis of warp caused by the self weight. The large displacement analysis is used to calculate the warp accurately.
Analysis 2 is a resonant analysis using the results of Analysis 1 as an initial state.
The deformation, the displacement and the mechanical stress are solved.
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

Prepare two analysis models.
The settings of the boundary condition, material property, and body attribute are mostly common for the two models.
Copy an analysis model after setting conditions in the project.
Name Analysis model 1 “Weight_Static” and Analysis model 2 “Resonant”.
Set up as follows.
Select “Acceleration” at Options to take the self weight into account.
The large displacement is used to calculate the warp accurately.

The displacement diagram of Analysis 1 is shown below. The scale factor is 50.
The contour diagram shows the magnitude of displacement.
The displacement at the center point(53,5,0.1) varies as shown below. The displacement is not proportional to the steps.
The displacement is restrained as the steps progress.
It indicates that the tensile force is generated in the beam due to the warp.
Large displacement calculation is needed to perform this kind of simulation.
In Analysis 2, vibration component and initial stress component can be displayed.
The diagram below shows the first mode of the vibration component. The scale is adjusted automatically.
The same vibration component as in Analysis 1 can be seen.
The resonant frequencies are shown in the table below.
By deselcting the option of Initial Stress (Result Import), the resonant frequencies are calculated without taking the warp into account. The following is the result.
From these two data, you can see the resonant frequencies become higher due to the self weight.
