Structural Modal Analysis

Extract natural frequencies without coupling the model to one eigensolver.

Assemble sparse stiffness and mass operators from the structural model, define the requested eigenvalue search, and inspect natural frequencies and mode shapes through an eigensolver-neutral analysis contract.

Operators

Sparse generalized eigenproblem

Structural stiffness and mass operators define Kx = lambda Mx after the selected constraints are applied.

Framework

Explicit eigensolver selection

Choose the requested mode count, frequency or eigenvalue interval, and available eigensolver without changing the structural setup.

Outputs

Frequencies and mode shapes

Inspect ordered natural frequencies and animate or scale the associated displacement mode fields.

Modal Setup

Control the search and inspect every requested mode.

Define geometry, elasticity, density, constraints, mode count, and the search interval in one reproducible model. The result-frame slider switches between mode shapes, which can be scaled and animated for inspection.

CAD-bound structural inputs Elastic properties, density, and constraints stay attached to persistent CAD parts and surfaces. Different meshes can rebuild the stiffness and mass operators from the same modal setup without reapplying constraints.
Search controls Request a mode count and define an eigenvalue or maximum-frequency interval without hiding the selected range.
FEAST execution The current oneMKL FEAST path runs through TorsoHPC using one complete sparse CSR operator pair and MKL threading.
Current execution limit FEAST modal requests are thread-parallel and currently run as a single-process solve.

From constrained structure to mode shapes.

The complete setup remains visible and replayable rather than hidden inside a solver preset.
