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 Workbench Mechanical, how can I obtain strain energy output for Modal analysis?

      This can be done in Workbench Mechanical using User Defined Results. Please do the following: 1. In the Details view of the Analysis settings branch, under Output Controls section, switch “Stress” to “YES” 2. After solving (if needed), under the Solution tree, insert a “User Defined Result” 3. In the Details of the “User Defined Results”, and under Expression, enter “ENERGYPOTENTIAL” 4. In the Details of the “User Defined Results”, and under “Mode” write the mode number. If strain energy density (rather than strain enegy) is desired, use “ENERGYPOTENTIAL/VOLUME” for the Expression in Step 3 instead.
