Structural dynamics testing

From simple impact testing to large-scale modal surveys, structural dynamics testing helps you solve vibration issues.

Accelerate your testing process

The days when structural dynamics testing involved extensive trial-and-error and time-consuming setups are over. With Simcenter testing solutions, you can reduce the time required to perform modal testing and modal analysis from weeks to days, or even hours. Our integrated solutions give you access to state-of-the-art modal parameter identification methods to help you focus on the problem’s root cause and let you address structural weaknesses in an optimal way.

Rely on 40 years of modal testing experience and benefit from a tradition of cutting-edge engineering expertise to maximize your testing efficiency when performing impact testing on small structures, running large-scale campaigns with hundreds of measurement channels, or validating 3D finite element models with experimental data.

Our solutions incorporate advanced methods such as digital image correlation (DIC). This technology allows measuring full-field 3D data under any load with just two high-resolution cameras, providing increased accuracy and strongly accelerating validation testing.
