<<Eigenvalue analysis>> Eigenvalue (resonant frequency):[Hz] Mode[ 0] = 5.06139730e+002 Mode[ 1] = 7.76589632e+002 Mode[ 2] = 1.58726071e+003 Mode[ 3] = 1.92468740e+003 Mode[ 4] = 3.15995476e+003 Mode[ 5] = 4.14822255e+003 |
The resonant frequencies can be checked on Table.
The displacement of the basic resonant mode, Mode[0], is shown below. The contour indicates the magnitude of the displacement.

The displacement of the high-order mode, Mode[1], is shown below. The contour indicates the magnitude of the displacement.

Mode[0] and Mode[1] exhibit completely different resonance.
