Transient
Dynamic Analysis of a Cantilever Beam: Apply an impulse load on
the free end of a cantilever beam. The loading will be a force defined
as a function of time; therefore you will need to define a nonspatial

Frequency
Response Analysis of a Cantilever Beam: Excite the cantilever beam
with a load at the end of the beam at various frequencies (known also
as a harmonic analysis). This characterizes its vibrational qualities.
First a modal analysis will be done to determine the natural frequencies
of the cantilever beam which will tell us approximately where we can expect
to see large responses due to excitation at resonant frequencies. Compare
the results to the static solution at zero hertz. |
