Overview

For analysis, the SDT provides a general finite element architecture that can be used in all fields and a range of specialized solvers to create models used to study vibration problems. Interfaces with popular FEM codes and Graphical User Interface (GUI) visualization tools let you build on the MATLAB/SDT ease of use to pre-/post-process computations done using SDT or other codes. Key compiled functions allow treatment of large models. For test, the SDT provides all the modal analysis tools needed to exploit frequency domain measurements. GUIs are provided for visualization of responses, frequency domain identification, animation of modes and operational deflection shapes, topological correlation, and test/analysis correlation criteria.

Key Features for Analysis

	•	General 3-D Finite Element Modelling with an open architecture allowing easy user developments
	•	Pre-processing and visualization of FEM computations
	•	Model reduction,substructuring and system model building
	•	Physical parametrization of FEM models for optimization or updating

Key Features for Tests

	•	GUI based visualization of test data and frequency domain identification
	•	Animation of test and FEM results
	•	Topology correlation and test/analysis criteria
	•	Import/export routines for popular test and FEM model formats
	•	Specialized routines to go from test and finite element models to state-space and other system dynamics formats
