Modal analysis - exceeding node limitation

[icefea]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to run a modal analysis on a 3D structure, however, when I refine my mesh I exceed the node limitation on the software (University edition). My model is symmetric about one axis, so is there a way to run a modal analysis on half the structure? Is this possible in dynamic simulations?

Thanks,

icefea

No problem, just put symmetry boundary conditions on the cut plane.

Thanks for this information Drej. I'll try it out.
