FREQ1

Frequency List, Alternate Form 1

Description: Defines a set of frequencies to be used in the solution of frequency response problems by specification of a starting frequency, frequency increment, and the number of increments desired.

Format:

Example:

Field Definition Type Default
SID Set identification number. Integer > 0 Required
F1 First frequency in set. Real ≥ 0.0 Required
DF Frequency increment. Real ≥ 0.0 Required
NDF Number of frequency increments. Integer > 0 Required

Remarks:

  1. FREQi entries must be selected with the Case Control command FREQUENCY = SID.
  2. The units for F1 and DF are cycles per unit time.
  3. The frequencies defined by this entry are given by:

  4. The DFREQ model parameter specifies the threshold for the elimination of duplicate frequencies. Duplicate frequencies will be ignored if

    where DFREQ is defaulted to 1.0x10-5 and and are the maximum and minimum solution frequencies of the combined FREQi entries. (See Section 5, Parameters, for more information on DFREQ.)
