Oh, yes of course, the attachment wonøt let me attach an inp file, so i zipped it
It works after adding:

1) A frequency step as advised above

2) A density card, which you forgot:

Code: Select all

*MATERIAL, NAME=SolidMaterial
*ELASTIC
210000, 0.300
*DENSITY
7.900e-09

Thanks so much, now it seems to work.
A quick question, what program are you using to make that picture with results?

Yup. Better use FreeCAD though :D

Hello,
Could you help me to understand how to set a dynamic load for a thermomechanical analysis?
I I have 4 steps, I apply some loads from the beginning and I apply the rest of the loads on the 3rd step.
is it possible to set this in Freecad FEM UI?

HarryvL, bernd and JensElmo --

Steady State Dynamics:

Sorry this is a bit late (by 1 year!) but have checked that you are plotting the displacement that you think you are.
The displacements from an SSD analysis are complex, i.e. they have real and imaginary parts, and plotting just the real or imag part doesn't mean anything.

The displacements that should be plotted are the amplitudes, i.e. the sqrt(real**2 + imag**2), i.e. the magnitude of the displacement.
