Streamlining design with real-world vibration analysis
Any time a component or an assembly is subjected to a changing or dynamic load, it may react or vibrate in a way that ranges from merely annoying to critically dangerous.
Mechanical designers often use vibration simulation as a timesaving and cost-effi cient alternative to the traditional approach of building,
testing, modifying, and retesting their designs. By identifying the factors that influence the response to a dynamic load in a computer model, designers have the data needed to make the right improvements before they even cut a single piece of metal. In addition to greatly decreasing the number of actual prototypes required, vibration analysis also significantly reduces the costs involved.
