OS-V: 0210 Simply-Supported Thick Square Plate
Test 21OptiStruct is used to investigate the repeated eigenvalues and the effect of ‘secondary’ restrains.
Figure 1.
Benchmark Model
The 2nd order and 1st order quad elements are used to model the square plate of thickness 1.0m. The z-rotation and x, y translations are fixed for all the nodes, z-translation is fixed along all four edges, x-rotation is fixed along the edge x=0 and x=10 and y-rotation is fixed along the edge y=0 and y=10.
The material properties are:
- Young’s Modulus
- 200 × 109 N/m2
- Poisson’s Ratio
- 0.3
- Density
- 8000 kg/m3
Modal Analysis Results
