Modal Analysis Package

Modal Analysis Package

Modal Analysis Package

(OP)
I am trying to decide between I-DEAS Pro, ME'scopeVES, ICATS MODENT, SDRL X-Modal II modal analysis packages. Please let me know your experience with any of these packages..

RE: Modal Analysis Package

ME'Scope VES is a popular software by Vibrant Technologies and extensively used in automotive industry and gaining more popularity. You can get lot of other post-processing modules like SDM where you can add mass/dampers/stiffness and see how the new modified structure would behave. I have worked with Star Modal too which used to be popular, its not so bad when compared to ME'Scope considering its a lot more inexpensive. I have no idea about other packages.

RE: Modal Analysis Package

I wouldn't get too hung up on which modal package to get. >99% of the errors will be user, instrumentation and setup problems.

Cheers
