20.2. Problem Description

The model below is a PCB assembly consisting of three PCBs stacked together. A PSD analysis with base excitation using acceleration response spectrum is performed on this model. The aim is to determine the 1-σ displacement solution and compare the accuracy of results with and without the residual vectors. Improvement of the computational efficiency is verified via modal superposition expansion (MXPAND).
