SID |
Set identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
F1 |
First frequency in set. No default (Real > 0.0) |
F2 |
Last frequency in set. No default (Real > 0.0, F2 > F1) |
NF |
Number of logarithmic intervals. Default = 1 (Integer > 0) |
Comments
1. | FREQ2 entries must be selected with the I/O Options or Subcase Information command FREQUENCY = SID. |
2. | The units for F1 and F2 are cycles per unit time. |
3. | The frequencies defined by this entry are given by |
where, and i = 1, 2, …, (NF + 1).
4. | All FREQi entries with the same set identification numbers will be used. Duplicate frequencies will be ignored. fN and fN-1 are considered duplicated if: |
where, DFREQ is a user parameter with a default of 10-5 * fMAX , and fMIN are the maximum and minimum excitation frequencies of the combined FREQi entries.
5. | This card is represented as a loadcollector in HyperMesh. |
