!EIGEN

Parameter settings for modal analysis

Parameters

None

** 2nd line and later **

(2nd line) NGET, LCZTOL, LCZMAX, SIGMA
Variable name Attribute Description
NSET I Number of eigenvalues
LCZTOL R Tolerance (default: 1.0e-8)
LCZMAX I Maximum number of iterations (default: 60)
SIGMA R Shift value \(\sigma\) (default: 0.01)

Example

!EIGEN
  3, 1.0e-10, 40, 0.01

Normally, SIGMA does not need to be changed from its default value of 0.01. However, it may need to be changed when performing a free-free modal analysis (= modal analysis without constraint conditions). If a free-free modal analysis is performed and an eigenvalue solution at 0 Hz appears, increasing SIGMA to a value greater than 0.01 (for example, 1.0) may resolve the issue.
