How to simulate a support with different stiffness.

  I have an electric motor and it shows various bearing vibrations on different foundations (in reality). The reason for such behaviour is the different stiffness of foundations. I want to figure out the stiffness values of these foundations by selecting different stiffness values in the mechanical.
  I perform modal analysis and set the fixed support on the bottom of the motor. Then I get the natural frequencies of the motor on the max rigid foundation.

  ,nHave you tried using an elastic support? RMB>Modal>elastic support (refer Elastic Support (ansys.com)). If you want to include tangential stiffness as well you can use a bonded contact with command snippets.

  Ishan, thank you. nI have used elastic support but it led to error too. n
