Table Notes:

X

Required.

1

Required if system has nonlinear restraints or hanger design.

2

Used only where friction is defined.

3

Max. No. of Eigenvalues and Frequency Cutoff work as a pair in terminating the eigen extraction.

4

Used if modal combination method is GROUP.

5

Used if modal combination method is DSRSS.

6

Used if USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.60 or Uniform Building Code seismic spectra are specified in the shock definition.

7

Used if independent support movement (USM) loads are present or if defined shock does not include all supports in the system.

8

Used if pseudo-static components are included.

9

Used if missing mass components are included.

10

Used if more than one spectrum load is applied in the same direction.

For modal analysis, set the number of modes of vibration to extract by specifying a maximum number, a cutoff frequency, or both.
