Add-on Module for RFEM 5
RF-DYNAM Pro – Natural Vibrations

The RF-DYNAM Pro – Natural Vibrations add‑on module allow you to quickly and easily analyze natural frequencies and mode shapes of member, surface, and solid models.

You can import all required input values directly from RFEM 5. Powerful eigenvalue solvers (such as Lanczos, subspace iteration, and so on) are available to determine up to 9,999 eigenvalues.

RF-/DYNAM Pro - Natural Vibrations | Input

Input windows require all data necessary for determination of natural frequencies, such as mass shapes and eigenvalue solvers.

The RF-/DYNAM Pro - Natural Vibrations add-on module determines the lowest eigenvalues of the structure. The number of eigenvalues can be adjusted. Masses are directly imported from load cases or load combinations (with optional consideration of total masses or a load component in the direction of gravity).

Additional masses can be defined manually at nodes, lines, members, or surfaces. Furthermore, it is possible to control the stiffness matrix by importing normal forces or stiffness modifications of a load case or combination.

RF-/DYNAM Pro - Natural Vibrations | Calculation

The RF-DYNAM Pro - Natural Vibrations module of RFEM provides four powerful eigenvalue solvers:*Root of characteristic polynomial

Method by Lanczos
Subspace Iteration
ICG iteration method (Incomplete Conjugate Gradient)

The DYNAM Pro - Natural Vibrations module for RSTAB provides two eigenvalue solvers:

Subspace Iteration
Shifted inverse power method

The selection of the eigenvalue solver depends primarily on the size of the model.

RF-/DYNAM Pro - Natural Vibrations | Results

After the calculation, the eigenvalues, natural frequencies, and natural periods are listed. These result windows are integrated in the main program RFEM/RSTAB. The mode shapes of the structure are included in tables and can be displayed graphically or as an animation.

All result tables and graphics are part of the RFEM/RSTAB printout report. This way, clearly arranged documentation is ensured. Furthermore, it is possible to export the tables to MS Excel.
