We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Both effective mass and participation factor are parameters that help the user to get an answer for questions like:
How many modes to extract?
Which modes are contributing to the problem?
Why do natural frequencies repeat in modal analysis?
I will recommend you to watch the course on Modal analysis available atModal Analysis | Ansys Innovation Courses.
This course has all the important background information for Modal analysis.
