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.

The harmonic response will show you the peak stress in the model over a range of frequencies. There could be many requirements on the design. One example of a requirement is: The peak stress in the structure shall stay below the fatigue limit of the material at operating frequencies (RPM). Another example of a requirement is: The peak stress in the structure shall stay below the yield strength for any frequency below operating frequencies. In other words, during startup and shutdown the pump may pass through a resonant frequency which will create larger values of stress. Lower values of stress are found at the operating frequency but because it stays at that frequency for a long time, fatigue failure is a concern.
