Modal Analysis and Associated Equations

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When modal analysis is desired, it must be declared in the SELECT section with the selector

 

MODES = integer

 

where integer is the number of modes to be analyzed.

 

The equation should then be written in the form

 

F(V) +LAMBDA*G(V) = H(X,Y)

 

Where F(V) and G(V) are the appropriate terms containing the dependent variable, and H(X,Y) is a driving source term.  

 

The name LAMBDA is automatically declared by FlexPDE to mean the eigenvalue, and should not be declared in the DEFINITIONS section.
