The major building block of any dynamic analyses is an understanding of the important resonant frequencies and corresponding mode shapes.
/article/dynamic-analysisThe Art of Idealization in Finite Element Analysis
There’s an incorrect tendency to think of a highly detailed CAD model meshed with a large number of elements as the "real" structure. It is important to remember that every FEA is an idealization of the real world.
