Abaqus left eigenvalue and eigenvector

Submitted by Gil Ho Yoon on

Dear all,

 

I am working on the subject of the instability problem using Abaqus. 

One of the representative examples may be the squeal noise. 

 

In the Abaqus simulation, we have the difficulty in obtaining the left eigenvectors. 

 

It seems that the following comments do not work properly to obtain the left eigenvectors. 

 

Does anyone know how to obtain the left eigenvectors in SIM?

It turns out that eigenvectors obtained by the squeal noise are same as those of the righeigenvectors.
