Vibration Analysis with Modal-Based Harmonics

With the release of modal-based harmonics, SimScale users are able to perform vibration analysis on mesh sizes of over 1 million nodes using a single analysis type that automatically outputs full response spectrums.

In this launch webinar, we showed a vibration analysis of an EV inverter to demonstrate the modal-based workflow and show how a full shaker table test regime can be efficiently replicated by running multi-axis tests simultaneously using parallel computation.

Watch this webinar to learn how to:

Upload your CAD files to SimScale and prepare them for FEA simulation.
Perform accurate vibration assessment with a single analysis type.
Apply global damping and automatically resolve resonant response around natural frequencies.
Simulate multi-directional shaker table testing in parallel.
Post-process simulation results online and extract valuable insights about your products.

He is committed to helping organizations discover the benefits of early-stage simulation and works to make nonlinear and dynamic FEA applications accessible to design engineers worldwide.

What are people saying

“ITW is a world leader in plastic components for the automotive industry and we are successfully using SimScale in order to understand the insertion/holding force of our fasteners, and perform vibration and fatigue stress to our brackets and different components. Since I am not a dedicated FEA engineer, I need something fairly intuitive and fast that points me in the right direction and SimScale is perfect for this with a very well-designed interface. I get good results for quite complicated plastic parts that have a lot of deformation. Plus, if I run into trouble, I can always rely on the very helpful and proactive SimScale support team.”

Massimo Savi Project Manager

“When I started with SimScale, I knew from my previous experience how simulations are structured and work, but I had forgotten some details over the years. The great tutorials, documentation, and personal conversations with support have brought me up to date within 2 months of using SimScale. I am now well versed and use SimScale even with smaller problems to confirm my pre-calculations and to quickly compare design studies.”

Antonio Radenić Battery System Engineer at Rimac Automobili

"Using SimScale in the early R&D stages of the product, we were able to fully leverage simulation capabilities into our product design process. This allowed us to quickly set up different cooling scenarios for our battery cells using SimScale's CHT module to efficiently analyze the impact of design changes on battery module performance."
