<<Eigenvalue analysis>>

Eigenvalue (resonant frequency):[Hz]

Mode[ 0] = 8.61552809e+002

Mode[ 1] = 1.06874655e+003

Mode[ 2] = 1.21598202e+003

Mode[ 3] = 1.24695787e+003

Mode[ 4] = 1.56876049e+003

Mode[ 5] = 1.69339225e+003

 

The resonant frequencies can be checked on Table.

 

The displacement diagrams of Mode[0] to Mode[ 2] are shown below.

The contour are the Z displacement.

The minimum and maximum values are manually set to

-4.000e+000 and 4.000e+000 respectively.

 

Mode[0]:8.615528e+002[Hz]

 

Mode[1]:1.068747e+003[Hz]

 

Mode[2]: 1.215982e+003[Hz]

The shorter bar exhibits the higher resonant frequency.
