STAR Modal

STAR Modal is a comprehensive structural analysis package for Microsoft Windows TM (2000, XP and Vista).  Bringing together the latest technology in structural testing, user interfaces and graphics, you can test, analyze and present with confidence and ease.

Each of its dynamic analysis methods illuminates a specific aspect of the structures dynamic behaviour.  Built-in animation capabilities let you clearly visualize structural behaviour and identify problems.

 Key features include:
  • Modal Analysis
  • Time Domain Analysis and Animation
  • Operating Deflection Shapes
  • Multi-Reference Curve-Fitting.
  • Modal Assurance Criterion.
  • FRF Synthesis
  • Structural Dynamics Modifications.
  • Forced Response Simulation.
  • Sinusoidal Response.
