Direct Frequency Response Analysis

This example describes a dynamic linear elastic analysis of a rectangular plate under punctual dynamic load acting at one corner.

The following list is a summary of all steps of tutorial:

1-     Create geometry representing a flat rectangular plate. Create a finite element model of plate.

2-     Use a dynamic frequency dependent load.

3-     Write an input file for NASTRAN to run dynamic analysis in direct formulation.

4-     Use post-processing tools to analysis results.
