Modal Install
Installation guide
Thank you for purchasing Modal software.
Modal is a dedicated tool for processing a comprehensive modal analysis.
Some tools are available to create your modal project from the beginning to the end.
Start with the construction of the geometry and the acquisition of data in an optimized window.
After these first steps, continue naturally by displaying very quickly Operating Deflection Shapes. Finally, with the powerful algorithms proposed, modal parameters: frequencies, damping, mode shapes can be easily obtained from either modal data or operating data.
This "INSTALLATION GUIDE" will help you to install and run the Modal software.
For getting detailed information on the software, you can go and visit the Online Help embedded within the software. For beginning to use your new modal software, you can follow the instructions in the ’Getting Started’ document installed simultaneous to the software.
