Modal analysis of a geometrically complex structure using three open source packages
Salome, SfePy and ParaView is presented in this diploma thesis. The modal analysis was
first performed using the finite element method within the three open source packages and
later with a commercial software Siemens NX. Numerically obtained results were then
compared to the experimentally obtained ones and it was shown that the numerical and
experimental results match well. The main disadvantages of using open source packages are
slow calculation time, and difficulty of use.
