7.3.3. Solving a Modal Cyclic Symmetry Analysis

This section describes harmonic indices in relation to modal cyclic symmetry analyses and provides information necessary for solving several types of modal analyses. The following pages cover these topics:

7.3.3.1.Understanding Harmonic Index and Nodal Diameter

7.3.3.2.Solving a Stress-Free Modal Analysis

7.3.3.3.Solving a Prestressed Modal Analysis

7.3.3.4.Solving a Large-Deflection Prestressed Modal Analysis

Cyclic symmetry modal analyses currently support only the Block Lanczos, PCG Lanczos, Supernode, and Subspace methods (MODOPT).

7.3.3.1. Understanding Harmonic Index and Nodal Diameter

To understand the process involved in a modal cyclic symmetry analysis, it is necessary to understand the concepts of harmonic indices and nodal diameters.

The nodal diameter refers to the appearance of a simple geometry (for example, a disk) vibrating in a certain mode. Most mode shapes contain lines of zero out-of-plane displacement which cross the entire disk, as shown in these examples:

Figure 7.11: Examples of Nodal Diameters (i)

For a complicated structure exhibiting cyclic symmetry (for example, a turbine wheel), lines of zero displacement may not be observable in a mode shape.

The harmonic index is an integer that determines the variation in the value of a single DOF at points spaced at a circumferential angle equal to the sector angle. For a harmonic index equal to nodal diameter d, the function cos(d*θ) describes the variation. This definition allows a varying number of waves to exist around the circumference for a given harmonic index, provided that the DOF at points separated by the sector angle vary by cos(d*θ). For example, a harmonic index of 0 and a 60° sector produce modes with 0, 6, 12, ... , 6N waves around the circumference.

The nodal diameter is the same as the harmonic index in only some cases. The solution of a given harmonic index may contain modes of more than one nodal diameter.

The following equation represents the relationship between the harmonic index k and nodal diameter d for a model consisting of N sectors:

dm N k

where m = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...,

For example, if a model has seven sectors (N = 7) and the specified harmonic index k = 2, the program

solves for nodal diameters 2, 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, ....

The following table illustrates Equation 7.2 (p. 178), showing how the harmonic index, nodal diameter and number of sectors relate to one another:

Note

To avoid confusion, be aware that in some references mode refers to harmonic index as defined here and nodal diameter describes the actual number of observable waves around the structure.

Harmonic Index in an Electromagnetic Analysis For electromagnetic analyses, only the EVEN and ODD harmonic index settings (see the CYCOPT command) are valid (for symmetric and antisymmetric solutions, respectively).

Using VT Accelerator You can use the Variational Technology Accelerator (VT Accelerator) to speed up the solve time needed to sweep over the range of values of the harmonic index. To activate VT Accelerator, issue CYCOPT,VTSOL prior to solving. You can use VT Accelerator only with matched node pattern sectors in a modal cyclic symmetry analysis. You will see the most significant speed up for models with a large number of sectors and/or a large number of eigenvalues. The benefit of using VT Accelerator is realized only when solving for more than five harmonic indices. In addition, the level of performance improvement realized with VT Accelerator may also be dependent upon the problem. Solving for less than five harmonic indices prevents a solution and displays an error message.

Figure 7.12: Process Flow for a Stress-Free Modal Cyclic Symmetry Analysis

A modal cyclic symmetry analysis allows only cyclically symmetric applied boundary conditions. Eigensolutions are performed, looping on the number of harmonic indices specified (via the CYCOPT command) at each load step.

7.3.3.3. Solving a Prestressed Modal Analysis

The process for a prestressed modal cyclic symmetry analysis is essentially the same as that for a stressfree case, except that a static solution is necessary to calculate the prestress in the basic sector. The prestress state of the sector may be from a linear static or a large-deflection nonlinear static analysis. The following flowchart illustrates the process involved in a prestressed modal cyclic symmetry analysis.
