Ebook: Learn Dynamic Analysis with Altair OptiStruct

This study guide aims to provide a fundamental to advanced approach into the
exciting and challenging world of Structural Analysis. The focus will be on aspects of
Linear Dynamic Analysis. As with our other eBooks we have deliberately kept the
theoretical aspects as short as possible.
The tool of choice used in this book is OptiStruct. Altair ® OptiStruct® is an industry
proven, modern structural analysis solver for linear and nonlinear structural problems
under static and dynamic loadings.
OptiStruct is used by thousands of companies worldwide to analyze and optimize
structures for their strength, durability and NVH (noise, vibration and harshness)
characteristics.
In this eBook, we will describe in some detail, how to perform a Modal analysis
including:
•
Frequency Response Analysis
•
Random Response Analysis
•
Transient Response Analysis
•
Complex Eigen Value and Response Spectrum Analysis
•
Superelements and Advanced Linear Dynamic topics etc.
Please note that a commercially released software is a living “thing” and so at every
release (major or point release) new methods, new functions are added along with
improvement to existing methods. This document is written using HyperWorks 2017,
