Run

Analyze the model and generate the results.

  1. From the Analyse ribbon, Analysis tool group, click the Run Solver tool, which runs the SEAM code to analyze the model after it is generated.
    Figure 1.


  2. From the guide bar, click to select additional options.
    Figure 2.


  3. Click to display the Advanced Selection dialog. Select the required load steps.
  4. You can select a single load step or multiple load steps simultaneously. Select the necessary options and click Run.
    Generate excitation contributions
    Calculate excitation contributions.
    Calculate NCT effects
    Calculate NCT effects.
    Calculate Windowing effects
    Select the Block or Unblock option for calculating the windowing technique to be calculated.
    Note: This option is on by default.
  5. SEAM displays its progress. The display may close after the run is completed.
  6. For the Windowing option, select the groups using the Regions options, which need to be considered for windowing effects.
    Note: The groups should have only SEA subsystems.
  7. From the Analyse ribbon, Analysis tool group, click the Contour tool to define the contour.
    Figure 3.


  8. From the guide bar, select the type of contour to create by selecting Load Steps, Energy, and Frequency of Interest.
  9. From the guide bar, click = to select inplane or bending for plotting structural response.
  10. Click Contour.
  11. Right-click on Subsystems Displayed to perform visualization selections.
