Transient Analysis using ANSYS

FEM analysis software ANSYS© provides many features related to the analysis of the vibrations in a structure. One such feature is transient analysis. Transient analysis in ANSYS© is carried out for any application to study the system properties with respect to time. Transient vibration analysis gives useful information about system damping and other effects of the controlling forces on vibration with a function of time. ANSYS© provides excellent coding features by which the controller logic can be built in itself and controller simulation can be carried out. This feature of ANSYS© is used for active vibration control in the present case.

Controlling analysis is carried out in this section by iterative selection of controller gain. Controller gain is not designed based on the earlier results obtained from MATLAB©. In this section an attempt is made to control the first and second mode of vibration.
