Disk vs blade natural frequencies

Submitted by cryogene on

I'm trying to determine the coorelation of a blade natural frequency and disk (nodal diameter) natural frequency on a Turbine wheel in ANSYS Modal analysis.  Is it possible for a blade natual frequency to be excited even though a disk natural frequency is not being excited??  I'm having trouble determining if a blade frequency is related to any disk nodal diameter.  Thanks for any incite on this subject.
