3DEXPERIENCE Example: Response of a Printed Circuit Board to Random Vibration

SIMULIA R&D has created another simulation example to share with you as part of the R2023x FD03 release.

This example guides you through using the Mechanical Scenario Creation app to define and run a structural simulation that examines the response of a printed circuit board to random vibrations. By completing this example, you learn how to:

  • Define a frequency step to calculate the resonant frequencies within a certain range of interest.
  • Define a random vibration step, including the appropriate frequency and damping parameters.
  • Apply boundary conditions (for example, clamps and acceleration base motions).
  • Create output requests for XY and contour plots.
  • Review results from a random vibration simulation (for example, power spectral density plots and root-mean-square von Mises stress plots).

This example was developed with the collaboration of @CHIN Charlie. Charlie’s contribution to the delivery of this example is much appreciated. 

To try this example for yourself, see Response of a Printed Circuit Board to Random Vibration.

The 3DEXPERIENCE Simulation Examples Team would like to hear your ideas for new examples. If you have a workflow idea with an IP-free 3D XML model (if applicable), please leave a comment so the team can contact you. The team also welcomes feedback on any of its existing simulation examples.
