Smitc solver – Where are the Eigenfrequencies?

Post by Captain Slow »

Hi Guys,

I have just been looking at the tutorial ''Smitc solver – Eigenmodes of an elastic plate'' which seems to have run fine (I have the displacements for the 10 modes simulated) but I cannot find where the eigenfrequencies are displayed. Can you point me in their direction?

Thanks,
John

Hi John

ARPACK outputs by default the eigenvalues, lambda. For a typical equation these are related to the frequency f by lambda=(2*PI*f)^2. SaveScalars can output this directly to a given file when you reques 'Save Eigenfrequencies = Logical True'.

Hi,

I've been trying to save the eigenvalues but i've been unsuccessful. I have tried several time writing the commands in different places but ElmerSolver Crashes.

I wrote the following:

'Solver 2';
'Equation = SaveScalars';
'Exec Solver = After saving';
'Procedure = "SaveData" "SaveScalars"';
'Save Eigenfrequencies = Logical True';
'Filename = "Eigenvalues_name .dat"';
'End';

Is there something wrong? I could not manage to find a solution.

Thanks in advance

Hi Supituki

I hope you wrote that to the solver input file (.sif) and without the special characters: ' and ;

Hi,
i think it's a ElmerSolver bug, i'll commit a fix in a minute.

...done. The eigen values are also,btw., shown in the ElmerSolver terminal output.

Hi

Thank you for your fast answer.

I'm using Elmer in Windows installed from the binary, and since I am working with a restricted computer, I cannot install "MinGW and MinSYS".

How often are the binaries in the SourceForge actualized?

Thanks for all

This is an ancient post, but it is indeed possible to install MSYS2 on a Windows machine without admin privileges, as a portable package.
