Analysis Procedure

Run fistr1.

cd FrontISTR/tutorial/15_eigen_spring
fistr1 -t 4

(Run with 4 threads.)

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.
