Frequency and buckling analyses are critical components of a design, but are often overlooked. Inherent vibration modes in structural components or mechanical support systems can shorten equipment life and cause unexpected failures.

COSMOS™ Frequency and buckling analysis allow design engineers and analysis experts to evaluate natural frequencies or critical buckling loads and their corresponding mode shapes of simple models or complex 3D assemblies.

Integrated and simplified analysis..

Due to underlying integration of the design and analysis products, frequency or buckling analysis can be performed as an integral part of the design process. All analysis specifications (loads, restraints, etc.) are applied on geometry rather than a FEA mesh, this way the program ensures associativity of analysis specification even as the design changes.

Features include:

• Analysis applicable for both parts and assemblies
• Shell Analysis
• Isotropic and orthotropic material behavior
• Inplane effects on stiffness
• Loads for buckling and inplane stiffening include: Force, Pressure, gravity & centrifugal
