Use the NSORT and ESORT commands to sort the data before listing them.Many other functions, such as mapping results on to a path, transforming results to different coordinate
systems, load case combinations, etc., are available in POST1; see Solution in the Basic Analysis Guide
for details.

4.5. Sample Harmonic Analysis (GUI Method)
In this sample problem, you will determine the harmonic response of a two-mass-spring system.
4.5.1. Problem Description
Determine the response amplitude (Xi) and phase angle (Φi) for each mass (mi) of the system shown
below when excited by a harmonic force (F 1 sin Ωt) acting on mass m 1.
4.5.2. Problem Specifications
Material properties for this problem are:
m 1 = m 2 = 0.5 lb-sec^2 /ink 1 = k 2 = kc = 200 lb/inLoading for this problem is:
F 1 = 200 lbThe spring lengths are arbitrarily selected and are used only to define the spring direction. Two master
degrees of freedom are selected at the masses in the spring direction. A frequency range from zero to
7.5 Hz with a solution at 7.5/30 = 0.25 Hz intervals is chosen to give an adequate response curve. POST26
is used to get an amplitude versus frequency display.
