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.

In a random vibration analysis, what is “GRMS” and how can it be calculated?

  In an ANSYS random vibration analysis, root-mean-square (RMS) values are referred to as “one-sigma” values. So, the RMS acceleration is the one-sigma acceleration. “G” refers to the acceleration expressed in terms of the gravitational acceleration. So “GRMS” is the one-sigma acceleration in terms of G. In /POST1, the calculated one-sigma accelerations are stored in load step 5. To obtain the one-sigma acceleration in terms of G (GRMS), simply divide the one-sigma acceleration values by the gravitational acceleration constant using the SET command. /post1 set,5,1,1/386.4 ! for BIN unit system
