How read modal analysis results?

How read modal analysis results?

How read modal analysis results?

(OP)
I have done a modal analysis, but I do not know how to read the results, I find only the frequencies, but I need  participating mass for every mode. Help!

RE: How read modal analysis results?

Hi,
there are some calculation results which are only output during the solve process.
The participation factors can be saved on file by redirecting the whole output to file: prior to SOLVE, issue an /OUTRES command with the desired directives.

Regards

RE: How read modal analysis results?

Hi,

I'm very sorry, I mixed up terms: the command is:

/OUTPUT,file_name,extension,,append_key

In order to reset the output to the Output-Window, simply

/OUTPUT,

Sorry again, regards.
