Define Modal Frequency Goal

Simulation: Solver Start Simulation Optimizer Goals Select Modal Frequency Goal Edit

Please note that modal frequency goals cannot be defined any more. When you open a project which contains modal frequency goals, then they will be converted automatically to a corresponding 0D Result Template Goal.

In this dialog box, you may modify the mode and the frequency that is being evaluated while the optimizer is running for the selected goal. In addition, you may define how the data will be evaluated.

Mode / Weight  frame

Mode: Select the mode used for the evaluation of the goal out of the drop list.

Weight: Enter the weight of this goal here.

Conditions frame

Operator: You may select an operator from this drop list. The operator effects how the data is being evaluated during an optimization run. Currently,five different operators are available for the modal frequency goal.

<: The optimizer tries to find a parameter setting where the modal frequency of the selected mode becomes lower than the given target frequency.

>: The optimizer tries to find a parameter setting where the modal frequency of the selected mode becomes higher than the given target frequency.

=: The optimizer tries to find a parameter setting where the modal frequency of the selected mode becomes as close as possible to the given target value.

min: The optimizer tries to find a parameter setting where the modal frequency of the selected mode becomes minimal.

max: The optimizer tries to find a parameter setting where the modal frequency of the selected mode becomes maximal.

Target Frequency: Enter the target frequency here.

OK

Stores the current settings and returns to the Optimizer - Goals property page. The new defined goal is added to the list of defined goals in the Optimizer - Goals property page.

Cancel

Closes this dialog box without performing any further action.
