abaqus-modal-analysis

abaqus-modal-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,201 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A complete Abaqus workflow for modal analysis, which calculates a structure’s natural vibration frequencies and mode shapes. Natural frequency is the rate at which a structure tends to vibrate on its own.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract the first few modes or a frequency range for beams, plates, brackets, and other structures, provided the geometry, mesh, density, and boundary conditions are ready.
Why use it?
It helps identify possible resonance, where outside vibration matches a structure’s natural frequency and causes a stronger response.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

abaqus-modal-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Abaqus Modal Analysis Skill

Extract natural frequencies and mode shapes from a structure. Use for vibration analysis, resonance avoidance, and dynamic characterization.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

  • "Natural frequency", "modal analysis", "vibration"
  • "Resonance", "mode shapes", "eigenvalue"
  • "How will it vibrate?", "avoid resonance at X Hz"
  • "First mode frequency", "natural frequency of beam/plate"

Route elsewhere:

  • Forced vibration response → use transient dynamic
  • Frequency response function → use steady-state dynamics
  • Static stress/deflection → /abaqus-static-analysis
  • Impact/crash → /abaqus-dynamic-analysis

Prerequisites

Before modal analysis:

  1. Geometry and mesh ready
  2. Material MUST have density defined (required for mass matrix)
  3. Boundary conditions define the modal boundary
  4. NO loads needed for eigenvalue extraction

Workflow: Modal Analysis

Step 1: Understand User's Goal

Ask if unclear:

  • How many modes? First few (5-10) or all in frequency range?
  • Boundary conditions? Fixed, pinned, free-free?
  • Frequency range of interest? Motor at 60 Hz, etc.?
  • What geometry? Beam, plate, bracket, assembly?

Step 2: Create Geometry

Route to /abaqus-geometry for part creation.

Step 3: Define Material WITH DENSITY

Route to /abaqus-material - density is essential.

Without density, Abaqus cannot compute the mass matrix and modal analysis will fail.

Material Density (tonne/mm^3)
Steel 7.85e-9
Aluminum 2.7e-9
Titanium 4.5e-9

Step 4: Create Mesh

Route to /abaqus-mesh for meshing.

Mesh quality affects mode shapes - finer mesh gives more accurate high-frequency modes.

Step 5: Apply Boundary Conditions

Route to /abaqus-bc to define support type.

Configuration Expected Modes Use Case
Free-free (no BCs) 6 rigid body modes at ~0 Hz, then elastic Test correlation
Cantilever (one end fixed) First mode is bending Mounted component
Simply supported Bending, plate modes Bridge-like structures
Fixed-fixed Higher frequencies than cantilever Both ends constrained

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

abaqus-modal-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub (868 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,201 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
