Intuitive Structural Testing for Accurate Dynamic Behaviour Analysis 

Guided workflows and high-quality data give engineers full confidence in vibration-based structural analysis.

Structural Testing covers the full process of understanding how mechanical and civil structures behave under dynamic loads. Our platform combines vibration excitation, Modal Analysis, Operational Deflection Shapes, OMA, SRS, resonance dwell and frequency-domain evaluation in one environment. With intuitive geometry creation, wizard-guided acquisition, advanced FFT analysis and seamless data exchange, engineers can validate structural behaviour, correlate Finite Element Models and perform reliable structural analysis with maximum efficiency.

Complex structures with curved, circular or multi-part assemblies are difficult to represent accurately. Even small coordinate errors can distort Modal Analysis, Structural Analysis or Mode Shapes.

Our platform provides real-time geometry creation with Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinates, allowing users to build detailed assemblies that form a precise foundation for Modal Analysis, ODS, resonant frequency analysis and other structural health monitoring tasks.

Choosing between roving hammer, roving sensor, shaker-based excitation, resonance dwell or shock testing can be difficult, especially for nonlinear analysis or structural stability evaluations.

Wizard-driven workflows define measurement points, directions and excitation strategies, ensuring fully structured and repeatable test setups for Modal Analysis, OMA, Sine Sweep, Stepped-Sine, SRS and detailed frequency-domain analysis.

Early test runs often suffer from insufficient excitation, overloads, double impacts or false triggers, compromising FFT analysis and structural fatigue evaluations.

Scope Mode allows users to observe responses before saving data. Overloads and double impacts are detected automatically, ensuring only high-quality, trustworthy datasets for Modal Analysis, structural failure analysis and FFT Spectrum Analysis.

Structural testing often requires more than simple impacts. Engineers need resonance dwell, Sine Burst, Chirp, Random Burst or Step-Sine to examine frequency drift, decay or nonlinear behaviour.

Our system offers comprehensive excitation profiles including Sine Dwell, Shock, SRS, Burst and Chirp, enabling precise evaluation of damping, decay and transient behaviour. Results integrate directly with detailed Structural Analysis and Time-Domain Analysis.

Incorrect trigger thresholds cause missed or premature recordings, affecting natural frequency analysis and structural break analysis.

Automatic trigger calculation identifies the ideal threshold using trial impacts. Engineers gain consistent, accurate and repeatable force inputs, improving reliability across Modal Analysis and Frequency-Domain Analysis workflows.

If coherence, FRFs, decay behaviour or frequency trends are evaluated only after testing, quality issues may remain unnoticed until late in the process.

Live coherence, FRF displays, reference tracking and level monitoring provide immediate insight into data quality, supporting efficient decision-making in resonant frequency analysis, nonlinear analysis and Finite Element Model validation.

Mode shapes, damping and natural frequencies require strong visualization and complete documentation for trustworthy structural evaluations.

ODS animation, 3D mode shape visualization, MAC/MIF validation and detailed reporting ensure clear interpretation and full traceability. All data, metadata and excitation profiles can be imported or exchanged directly, supporting fatigue studies, structural health monitoring and transient structural analysis.
