8. Eigen Value Analysis Analysis -> Eigen Value Analysis Control Ritz Vectors Unlike the natural eigenvalue modes, load dependent Ritz vectors produce more reliable results in dynamic analyses with relatively fewer modes. The Ritz Vectors are generated reflecting the spatial distribution or the characteristics of the dynamic loading.
9. Eigen Value Analysis To convert the final stage Cable forces to be used for determining cable stiffness for the Eigen Value Analysis
9. Eigen Value Analysis Step 2: Eigen Value Analysis Results A) Natural modes (or mode shapes) B) Natural periods (or frequencies) C) Modal participation factors. D) Effective modal mass. Eigenvalue analyses must precede dynamic analyses such as Modal Time History analysis or Response spectrum analysis. The response spectrum analysis uses the natural periods from the eigenvalue analysis.

10. Time History Analysis Step 2: Define Time History Load Case Load -> Time History Analysis Data -> Time History Load Case Transient: Time history analysis is carried out on the basis of loading a time load function only once. This is a common type for time history analysis of earthquake loads. Periodic: Time history analysis on the basis of repeatedly loading a time load function, which has a period identical to End Time. This type is applicable for machine vibration loads.
10. Time History Analysis Step 2: Define Time History Load Case Load -> Time History Analysis Data -> Time History Load Case Order in Sequential Loading: Select a time history analysis condition previously defined, which precedes the time history analysis condition currently being defined. The Analysis Type and Analysis Method for the current time history analysis condition must be consistent with those for the preceding load condition
