The toolbox for modal analysis, mechanical
simulation, and system identification
Overview
ModalTools™ has been designed for the engineer who uses MATLAB to analyze and/or simulate noise and vibration signals and systems. The Toolbox includes functions for experimental modal analysis.
It simplifies generation of typical functions such as frequency response functions from given models for simulation purposes.
In addition, functions for computation of frequency response functions and coherence functions from time data are included, both for single-input and multiple-input systems. Also, some typical modal analysis functions that simplify forced response analysis and operating deflection shape analysis etc are found
in the toolbox.
This toolbox can work as your only tool for modal analysis, or as a complement to any commercial modal analysis software, adding flexibility and functionality for post processing modal data.
