Run a 1st order modal analysis

In order to run a modal analysis on your model, see the following instructions.

Note:

To run a modal analysis, your model must contain an active modal mass combination.

For more information, see Create modal mass combinations.

  1. On the Analyze ribbon, click Settings.

    The Analysis Settings dialog box opens.

  2. In the dialog box, go to the 1st Order Modal page.
  3. If necessary, adjust the analysis options.
  4. On the Analyze ribbon, click 1st Order Modal.

    Tekla Structural Designer analyzes the model.

    At the end of the analysis process, the Results View opens to allow you to display the mode shapes graphically. Tabular results can also be viewed in a Solver Model Data View.
