In this product training, you will become familiar with the basics of how to operate Simcenter Testlab and how to use it for Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA).
You will learn how to use two different workbooks for EMA data acquisition: Simcenter Testlab Impact Testing for Impact hammer and Simcenter Testlab MIMO FRF for shaker testing. Using the acquired data, both the standard and more advanced modal parameter estimation methods will be covered for the Modal Analysis. We will conclude by explaining how to use modal parameters in computations to adjust a structures’ dynamic behavior.
The course is intended for engineers and technicians who want to learn how to use Simcenter Testlab for experimental modal analysis and understand its capabilities.
We recommend a basic knowledge of vibration measurements, structural dynamics and a basic understanding of digital signal processing.
