Damping example

- [Instructor] This video shows setting up and running a Transient Response Analysis. Three levels of damping are used, and the responses are compared between them. Now, we're going to open up a SolidWorks file. The file is plate_1_begin. If you don't have SolidWorks 2018 or later, then you can use the para solid file, which is shown here. Now, we create a new study, and we're going to change the study type to Advanced Simulation, Linear dynamic, and then we choose transient analysis. We can leave the name as Dynamic 1 and check okay. I want to set the properties for the analysis, we want to set six frequencies, and have the duration of the analysis as .26 seconds. The time step will be .00039. Now the background to these calculations will be given in the following theory videos. Notice our top, the material property, to be the usual alloy steel. We select define shell by selected surfaces. Click the top surface. Gonna give this a thickness of .05 of an inch. Check okay. Now we create…
