hi there

as a result of a harmonic analysis of a vibrating structure (stator for ultrasonic motor) I get displacement results versus frequency.
For postprocessing I would like to calculate the elliptical displacement shapes that result for surface nodes.

How is the frequency data converted into time data? Is there another possibility to calculate the elliptical displacement shapes?
