Voltage regulator

The voltage regulator is mounted on a motor cycle. The analysis was used to determine the response due to vibration input given in the form of a Power Spectral Density.

In Strand7, nominal stress contours can be superimposed onto the vibration mode shapes to indicate the likely stress distribution for the structure excited at the given mode.

Higher order modes need to be considered in the Response Spectrum analysis to ensure that a sufficiently high mass participation is achieved. For visual clarity, plate and brick elements can be displayed using the "facet" mode. This avoids drawing all the element outlines.
