SS-T: 4180 Modal Superelement Export Analysis

Tutorial Level: Advanced Create modal superelement export analysis.

Purpose

SimSolid performs meshless structural analysis that works on full featured parts and assemblies, is tolerant of geometric imperfections, and runs in seconds to minutes. In this tutorial, you will do the following:

Create modal superelement export analysis to undergo dynamic condensation (Craig Bampton Nodal method) of a model and export them to .dmig file. The superelement file will later be imported as a virtual connector to solve the required analysis along with the residual model.

Model Description

The following model file is needed for this tutorial:
