Animating complex shapes
Animating complex shapes
(OP)
Hello,
I don't know if this is the right forum for this.
I would like to animate some mode shapes, at the moment I have written my program so that it uses cos(real part of mode shape) + sin(imaginary part of the mode shape). This indeed produces a shape which seems correct, but when I compare my complex mode shapes to those in a commercial modal analysis program(mescope) the shape at 0 degrees( when the shape should be entirely imaginary?) looks slightly different than mine, although using the same data.
Many thanks in advance
Harry

My code goes as follows
degrees = 0 to 360 in 10 degree steps
real(mode shape) * cos(degrees) + imag(mode shape)*sin(degrees)
Many thanks
