Hi

There is also a native setting in wb mechanical and a harmonic response system (MSUP – so modal MSUP harmonic response). It is under analysis settings and is called:

Mode Selection Method – set that to Modal Effective Mass and then set a threshold for the Ratio of Effective Mass to Total Mass (so if set to say 0.2 it will take modes with a Ratio of Effective Mass to Total Mass higher than 0.2).

 

See here for more info on the above:
