RMMSELECT

RMMSELECT, Nmode, Method, Dmin, Dmax
Selects modes for the ROM method.

Compatible Products: – | – | – | Enterprise | Ent PP | Ent Solver | –

Nmode

Total number of modes to be selected

Method

Method for mode selection. Valid methods are:

TMOD

 — 

Automated selection using a test load. TMOD must be enclosed in single quotes.

NMOD

 — 

First Nmode eigenmodes. NMOD must be enclosed in single quotes.

Dmin

Lower bound for total deflection range.

Dmax

Upper bound for total deflection range.

Notes

Select pertinent modes for use in a ROM. Pertinent mode selection may be enhanced by using the deflection state of the structure representative of the operating nature of the device (Method = TMOD). A static analysis with an applied Test Load may be used. The test load displacements must be extracted at the neutral plane of the device (if the device is stress-stiffened), or at any plane of the device (non-stress-stiffened). A node component "NEUN" must be defined for the plane of nodes, and the displacements extracted using the RMNDISP command prior to issuing this command. If Method = NMOD, use the first Nmode eigenmodes to select the pertinent modes for the ROM tool. Only those modes are selected that act in the operating direction of the structure [RMANL].

Distributed ANSYS Restriction This command is not supported in Distributed ANSYS.
