Modal Analysis Problem Solution for a Mathematical Model Formed by the Extended Nodal Method
Abstract
The article proposes an option for transforming a mathematical model of the object, formed by the extended nodal method in the time-domain solution for modal analysis. Since finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for systems of ordinary equations given in the Cauchy normal form is possible, calculations are presented that allow us to obtain a system of equations in the Cauchy normal form from a mathematical model in a differential-algebraic form through linearization. The extended nodal method contains derivatives of state variables in the vector of unknown, and the Jacobi matrix obtained at each Newton iteration of each step of numerical integration can be used to obtain a linearized mathematical model, but the equilibrium equations, as a rule, contain several derivatives with respect to time. By introducing additional variables, it is possible to reduce the linearized mathematical model to the Cauchy normal form, while the Jacobi matrix structure remains essentially unchanged.The proposed solution is implemented in the mathematical core of the PRADIS Gen2 PA-8 software package, which made it possible to expand its functionality by an operator of modal analysis.The presented calculations of test schemes have shown the correctness of the method proposed.
