Hello,
I would also be interested in evaluating nonlinear frequency responses for simple mechanical systems (material+fixation) by computing periodic time responses using FEBio and MATLAB, and would have the following questions:
1) I assume that I can retrieve the internal forces for x-y-z at each node from "Rx-Ry-Rz" in the logfile. Are these the internal forces represented by "T" in Eq. 7.0.1 of the theory manual? Should I also consider internal forces related to rotations (xy, xz, yz)? If so, how can I retrieve them?
2) How could I easily compute the internal forces associated to a given displacement field (in a static way) for my problem?
3) How can I extract the mass matrix for my problem?
4) Is there a way to start a dynamic analysis in FEBio by setting an initial displacement field (together with the initial velocity field), i.e. imposing U(t = 0) = U0 and V(t = 0) = V0 where U0 and V0 are defined by the user.
Thank you very much for your help!
