Random Vibration PSD Force

      How to generate PSD force in Workbench? I only able to find acceleration, displacement, stress but no force...

      Thank you!

      Workbench has implemented the most common forms of PSD input.  Acceleration, Velocity and Displacement are common because vibration is usually measured using an accelerometer.  How did you end up with a Force PSD?

      To use a Force PSD in Workbench, you have to use a Command object.

      Look up the command PSDUNIT.

      Use Type = FORC

      Thanks Peter. I might not be clear in my question. When we generate frequency response, we are able to have acceleration, displacement, etc but not force. Wonder if Workbench can generate it?

      Ah, okay, I thought you were asking about Inputs, which I answered. You want to know about Response PSD output like the one for relative acceleration that I show below.

      You want to know if you can plot a Response PSD for Force. I don't think so. Maybe someone else will comment.

      I know you can obtain the 1 sigma value of the Reaction Force at the Fixed Support.
