I know there is a 'natural vibrations' component that takes in a model and outputs frequency in Hz, however I am a bit confused on some of these other inputs and outputs, such as 'NModes' for example.Įssentially, what we are trying to do is take a floor slab and:ġ) Assign zones, such as corridors to the slab (presumably subdivided meshes)Ģ) Give that slab/zones a walking criteria (footfall in steps/minute) - corridors have a greater walking criteria for instanceģ) Output the Mips (micro-inches per second) value for particular affected areas/zones on the slab - can be represented in some color range for the respective values accross the mesh.Ĥ) Assign slab thickness based on optimized zones of vibration
I am wondering if it is possible to calculate footfall induced vibration across a floor plate using Karamba.
