harmonic frequency response analysis

A method of dynamic analysis, harmonic frequency response evaluates the effects of vibration at specific harmonic (oscillatory) frequencies on your product or structure. The results help you determine the optimal steady-state response to a dynamic series of oscillations at those frequencies, and identify whether you need to mitigate the effects of vibration on your design.

Harmonic frequency response is an extension of modal analysis, in that you can use the results of a normal modes study (the frequencies at which it resonates naturally, before external forces are applied) as input to a harmonic response study. You also can use a function to apply frequency-dependent variable loading.

A harmonic frequency response analysis uses the Harmonic Response study type.
