Good evening, 

I am trying to find mode shape curvature from the mode shape. Is there a function within Dewesoft to compute the second derivative of mode shapes (WRT to space) directly?  

Many thanks, 

Fintan

we don't have a direct way to do compute the second derivative of mode shapes inside Dewesoft. Inside DS, we can make derivation/integration of vectors, but the Mode shape table is a matrix.


Best regards,

There is currently no way to calculate the fall guys second derivative of the mode shape in space. However, you can use the mode from Dewesoft to calculate the curvature.
