In ANSYS Release 9.0, how can you obtain the total amplitude from a harmonic analysis?


In a harmonic analysis, the real and imaginary results are stored. The total amplitude is the SRSS of the real and imaginary amplitude. The HRCPLX command can be used to calculate the total amplitude for any frequency. Below is a test case for a cantilever beam.
