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.

Hello All

My PCB (made of FR4 having 12 layer with total thickness of 2.4 mm) geometry has 4 nos. of diameter 3.5 mm from 5 mm inside from edges and assembled using M3.5 socket head screws. PCB is mounted on vibration plate through Diameter 7 aluminium spaces at 4 mounting location which also have diameter 3.5 through holes. Each screw is given torque of 58 N-cm.

 

I am facing issue after trace mapping on 2d shell geometry. When i am not considering the hole in FE analysis and fixed support is taken at center node at hole location , my simulation first mode frequency is matching with that of actual vibration result but when i am considering the hole and hole edge is given as fixed boundary condition , my simulation first mode frequency is higher than the vibration result.


Anyone can help in this regards , i am not able to understand why such a thing is happening.
