Rigid Body Modes

Your Ad Here


When a body is not adequately supported, it can translate or rotate as a whole without deformation. A body without any restraints has six rigid body modes; 3 translations and 3 rotations. The software finds rigid body modes in addition to the requested number of flexible modes. The frequency of a rigid body mode is zero which means an infinity period.
