This BK Connect application adds to BK Connect Modal Analysis Type 8420. It enhances your structural dynamics capabilities by adding polyreference analysis of multi-shaker measurements, or impact hammer measurements using triaxial or multiple single-axis accelerometers as references.

The advanced modal analysis software adds best-in-class mode indicator functions (MIFs), curve-fitters and validation tools to ensure accurate results even in the most demanding situations, such as analyzing structures with heavily damped, complex and coupled modes.

 

This application is usually paired with BK Connect Structural Measurements – Hammer and Shaker Type 8411 and/or BK Connect Advanced Sine Measurements Type 8412 for test set-up, measurement and measurement validation using the same intuitive, geometry-guided GUI.

POWERFUL TEST-PLANNING

With BK Connect Advanced Modal Analysis, you get the best possible tools for planning a modal test and analyzing the results. Powerful test-planning tools such as the geometry node selection tool for decimating a finite element model down to a test geometry are included, as well as a selected set of best-in-class MIFs, curve-fitters and validation tools, ensuring you always have the right tools at hand even in the most demanding situations.  

CAPABILITIES

 

This software adds advanced functions to BK Connect Modal Analysis Type 8420:

  • Geometry node selection task for decimating a FE models down to a test geometry
  • MIFs: Complex MIF (CMIF) and Multi-variate MIF (MMIF)
  • Curve-fitting:
    • MDOF Curve-fitters: Polyreference Time and Polyreference Frequency (no reference limitations), Rational Fraction Polynomial-Z (RFP-Z), Eigensystem Realization and Alias-Free Polyreference (AFPoly™)
    • Local solve curve-fitting (RFP-Z)
    • Stability diagram with Enhanced Mode Solution (RFP-Z) 

ADDITIONAL CAPABILITIES

  • Polyreference classical modal analysis from measured frequency response functions (FRFs) when, for example, decoupling closely coupled modes
  • Estimation of modal parameters to be used for finite element (FE) model correlation and updating, design verification, trouble-shooting, benchmarking and quality control 
  • Test planning and validation using finite element analysis (FEA) results
