AdaptroSim^® Structure and Vibration solutions are made for the design and analysis of passive measures for vibration reduction. In combination with the solution packages AdaptroSim^® Smart Structures semi-active and active systems can be mapped. Specifically, the following options are available in the Structure and Vibration Toolbox:

• Creation of state space systems representations from system matrices or modal data
• Identification of system models from measured data (next release)
• Easy creation of multi-mass oscillators
• mechanical blocks to model masses (1D, 3D), springs/dampers (1D, 3D) and absorbers
• Fractional derivatives (next release), approximations to describe fractional transfer functions
• Providing various tools for analysing systems (frequency response, spectrum, power spectrum, cross power spectrum, power spectral density, waterfall diagram, order cuts, envelopes, MAC comparison)
• Various types of excitation signals (sine sweep with variable amplitude, internal combustion engine; colored noise, triangle wave, rotating excitation)
• Calculation of rigid body motions
• Prediction of the influence of additional masses, springs and absorbers based on measured transfer functions

Following blocks and functions from the AdaptroSim^® Structure and Vibration can be used:
