Modal Simulation#
Simple post processing operations like viewing the different mode shapes is displayed in this example.

Get Simulation
object#
Get the Simulation
object that allows access to the result. The Simulation
object must be instantiated with the path for the result file. For example,
"C:/Users/user/my_result.rst"
on Windows or "/home/user/my_result.rst"
on Linux.
example_path = examples.download_modal_frame()
# to automatically detect the simulation type, use:
simulation = post.load_simulation(example_path)
# to enable auto-completion, use the equivalent:
simulation = post.ModalMechanicalSimulation(example_path)
View the frequency domain#
Printing the time freq support can help pick the right modes
print(simulation.time_freq_support)
# set_ids returns the unique identifiers for the modes
print(simulation.set_ids)
