Modal Analysis¶
Use the data in tutorial/15_eigen_spring.
Analysis Target¶
The analysis target is the same spring used in the preceding Nonlinear Static Analysis (Hyperelasticity, Part 2).

Analysis Results¶
Using the result data file spring.res.0.3, create the third mode shape (compression and extension of the spring in the y direction) in REVOCAP_PrePost, as shown in Figure 4.15.1. The deformation scale factor is set to 10. The list of natural frequencies output to the analysis result log file is shown below as numerical result data.
