The Solver power of RADIOSS

RADIOSS is a new generation FEA solver for Noise and Vibration analysis using the familiar NASTRAN bulk data input format. Besides being a fast, accurate and robust solver, the input data is thoroughly checked for modeling errors, getting you to the correct solution, faster.

RADIOSS supports all of the solution sequences necessary for Vehicle Noise and Vibration Analysis, including:

  • Linear static (including inertia relief)

  • Normal modes

  • Direct and modal frequency response

  • Direct and modal transient response

Many additional capabilities are uniquely suited to solving noise and vibration problems, including:

  • Flexible results output in many standard data formats (H3D, PUNCH, OP2, .res)

  • CMS and modal super element modeling with both ASET and USET coupling

  • Panel and modal participation factors

  • Grid participation for both fluid and structure

  • Plotel 3 and 4 support for visualization models

  • Kinetic, strain and damping energy output

  • Interface to AMLS to solve large Eigen value problems

  • Partial reduction allows panel definition for optimization
