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) using an impact hammer test and a shaker test to measure the Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) and to process those into mode shapes.
We will use an industrial example to walk you through the Simcenter Testlab Structures family. We will conclude by explaining how to use modal parameters in computations to adjust a structures’ dynamic behavior. Some new functionality in Simcenter Testlab Neo for Geometry Creation, Impact Testing and Operational Data Animation will be demonstrated as well.
The course is intended for engineers and technicians that need to learn how to use Simcenter Testlab for experimental modal analysis or that want to learn about its capabilities.
We recommend a basic knowledge of vibration measurements, structural dynamics and a basic understanding of digital signal processing.
