A Shock absorber is represented as spring element with damping constant. Modal analysis is performed using Reduced Damped (QRDAMP) solver. How to perform a Modal super position harmonic or transient analysis further ?

      For a MSUP (mode superposition) Harmonic Analysis and a MSUP Transient Analysis, one can use the Reduced Damped (QRDAMP) solver with the “Store Complex Solution” property set to “No”. In this case, regular (non-complex) mode shapes are calculated and are used for mode-superposition. Although complex frequencies are used for mode-superposition, regular (non-complex) frequencies are reported in tabular data.
