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.

Why is a modal analysis of a very small MEMS piezoelectric resonator missing modes and taking too long?

      It might be the unit system. Your system of uMKS may be giving the solver problems due to small mass density values in Kilograms/cubic micron. I would like to propose a different unit system: uM (1e-6 M) pKg(1e-12 Kg) us (1e-6 s) uN (1e-6 N). With this new system the solver quickly finds 100 modes and the frequencies match the values you were getting (except they are now in MHz.) Use of the MKS system also works.
