6.6 Improved integration scheme in random response analysis

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Benefits: You can obtain more accurate RMS values of responses at the starting and intermediate frequencies.

Description: The integration of generalized response PSD in random response has been modified to yield more accurate variances (and, consequently, more accurate RMS responses ) at starting and intermediate frequencies. This also results in zero values for RMS responses at the starting frequency. The previous integration scheme provided approximate RMS responses at all frequencies but the last one. Therefore, a nonzero value was observed at the first frequency.
