COMSOL 6.2 - ResponseSpectrum2D, ResponseSpectrum3D

ResponseSpectrum2D, ResponseSpectrum3D

Create a response spectrum 2D or 3D dataset. A response spectrum analysis is a modal-based method for estimating the structural response to a transient, nondeterministic event. Typical applications are designing against earthquakes and shocks.


	The ResponseSpectrum2D and ResponseSpectrum3D datasets require a license for the Structural Mechanics Module.

Syntax

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"ResponseSpectrum2D");

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"ResponseSpectrum3D");

model.result().dataset(<dtag>).set(property,<value>);

Description

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"ResponseSpectrum2D") creates a 2D response spectrum dataset feature named <dtag>.

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"ResponseSpectrum3D") creates a 3D response spectrum dataset feature named <dtag>.

The input to a response spectrum is the results from an eigenfrequency computation.

The following properties are available for ResponseSpectrum2D and ResponseSpectrum3D:
