Eigenvalues and 0 mass nodes

Apr 16, 2008 0 Replies

Hi



I am using ANSYS to solve for the eigenvalues of an FE model with nodes with 0 mass (that is solve the generalised eigenvalue problem Kx = lambdaMx where M has some 0s on the diagonal)



Does anyone know how ansys solves this, i.e. how does ansys or any other FE program deal with these 0 mass terms?



Regards



Paul
