Eigen Command
From OpenSeesWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
This command is used to perform the analysis.
eigen <$solver> $numEigenvalues |
$numEigenvalues | number of eigenvalues required |
$solver | optional string detailing type of solver: -genBandArpack, -fullGenLapack (default: -genBandArpack) |
RETURNS:
a tcl string containg eigenvalues.
NOTES:
- The eigenvectors are stored at the nodes and can be printed out using a Node Recorder, the nodeEigenvector command, or the Print command.
- The default eigensolver is able to solve only for N-1 eigenvalues, where N is the number of inertial DOFs. When running into this limitation the -fullGenLapack solver can be used instead of the default Arpack solver.
- The -fullGenLapack option is VERY SLOW for moderate to large models
THEORY:
- <math> \left (K - \lambda M \right ) \Phi = 0 </math>
EXAMPLE:
set eigenvalues [eigen 10];
