Ansys Tutorial: Random Vibrations Analysis | Stress, Displacement & Fatigue (Sigma Criteria)
In this tutorial, we’ll perform a Random Vibration Analysis of a four-deck rack using ANSYS Mechanical. You’ll learn how to set up *modal and random vibration systems*, apply a *PSD base excitation*, and evaluate results in terms of stress, displacement, and fatigue life using the *1σ, 2σ, and 3σ criteria*.
We’ll cover every step — from geometry creation in SpaceClaim and shared topology setup, to modal analysis, PSD input definition, and fatigue evaluation based on Steinberg theory.
📌 What You’ll Learn:
✅Geometry and mesh setup in ANSYS SpaceClaim
✅Coupling modal analysis with random vibration
✅Applying PSD acceleration as base excitation
✅Evaluating deformation and stress using sigma criteria
