# Midas NFX Linear Dynamics and Buckling Analyses
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
The NFX linear dynamics and buckling thread covers normal modes, linear buckling, effective mass, mode superposition, transient response, frequency response, random response, and response spectrum analysis.
|
|
|
|
## Modal and Buckling Base
|
|
|
|
Normal mode analysis uses mass-normalized modes, generalized mass, generalized stiffness, participation factors, and modal effective mass. Buckling uses the same generalized eigenproblem structure but replaces the dynamic mass-like matrix with geometric stiffness and normalizes buckling vectors by maximum displacement component rather than modal mass.
|
|
|
|
## Mode Superposition
|
|
|
|
The manual presents mode superposition as a reduction of the physical dynamic equation
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
M u_ddot(t) + C u_dot(t) + K u(t) = f(t)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
into modal coordinates. It also documents residual vectors for improving truncated modal bases and enforced-motion handling through constrained/free DOF partitioning.
|
|
|
|
## Linear Response Families
|
|
|
|
NFX covers direct and modal transient response, direct and modal frequency response, random response, and response spectrum analysis. The manual includes damping treatment, frequency-domain response, random response statistical values, RMS and zero crossing, modal combination, and spectrum correction.
|
|
|
|
## Solver Development Use
|
|
|
|
For a custom solver, this page defines output checks that should be testable against reference solvers: natural frequencies, periods, mode shapes, modal mass, effective mass ratios, buckling load factors, transient displacement histories, frequency-response amplitudes/phases, response-spectrum modal combinations, and random-response statistics.
