How does the simulation know what the source of the vibration is?

[@jbyrne001]

+Sungod3000 That is a very good question. The source of the vibration is irrelevant in this particular study. Here we are simply checking for areas of low stiffness in the model, behavior and frequency values. If necessary we can take it a step further and simulate an excitation such as a motor or dymanic motion in the design. That is something that is currently done using Autodesk Nastran or Simulation Mechanical. These results will provide even more information such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration. Does that answer your question?

+Jim Byrne ok ill check those out. Im on a quest to find a tool that can simulate fdm 3d printed parts....

@@jbyrne001 Thanks. So, the simulation shows what would happen if there were a "3D Earth quake"? And the result tells us the resonant frequencies?
