ROM Settings Window

ROM Mesh⚓︎

Defines the maximum number of beam elements used for suspension springs

  • A very small number of beam elements is usually sufficient to calculate mechanical properties.
  • A larger number is often applied to plot smooth bending lines of deformed springs for documentations.
  • Default = 10

Element Size for Spring ROM⚓︎

Defines the default length of beam elements in suspension springs

  • The number of elements can be changed for individual springs by the SPRI command.
  • Default = 1 (Units of length, e.g. µm)

Reduction Stage⚓︎

Defines the default reduced-order-model (ROM) reduction stage for simulations

  • Possible settings are: Quasi-Analytical and Finite-Element
  • The reduction stage can be changed by the REDS command for subsequent simulation runs.
  • Default = Quasi-Analytical

Activate Modal Superposition⚓︎

Activates the modal superposition solver (MSUP) for simulations

  • The modal superposition solver can also be activated by the MSUP command for subsequent simulation runs.
  • Default = on

Number of Modes for Modal Superposition⚓︎

Specifies the number of eigenmodes for the modal superposition solver

  • The lowest mode in the specified set will be basic functions of the simulation model.
  • Default = 20
