Modal (Samcef)

The following material properties are supported for Modal analyses using the SAMCEF solver.


Important:  The material properties and models that you use to create SAMCEF solver input must have a temperature dependency. If not, the application does not write the input file. If you have imported materials that do not have an associated temperature dependency, you must add the Temperature field in the Engineering Data workspace as a field variable and enter a value (e.g. 0.0) to enable the application to write an input file.
