Use Modes From Previous Design Study
Creo Simulate uses the modes from a modal analysis to calculate a dynamic analysis.
You can include the modal analysis in one of these ways:
• Have Creo Simulate run the modal analysis as part of running the dynamic analysis.
The dialog box displays the name of a modal analysis and the constraint set for that analysis. If you have multiple modal analyses, you can select the analysis you want to use.
Make sure Use modes from previous design study is not selected.
• Use results from a previously run modal analysis.
Select the option Use modes from previous design study.
The dialog box displays the name of a standard design study, modal analysis, and the constraint set for the selected modal analysis. If you have multiple studies or analyses, you can select the ones you want to use.
Keep these points in mind when using this option:
◦ You cannot place the current dynamic analysis in the same design study as the previous modal analysis you select.
◦ The design study containing the previous modal analysis must be in the same directory as the design study in which you place the current dynamic analysis.
◦ You must run the design study that contains the modal analysis prior to running the current dynamic analysis so that the modes from the previous analysis are available.
