What is ME'scopeVES and How to Use It for Modal Analysis?
ME'scopeVES is a software environment for modal analysis that can be integrated with hardware and software products from HEAD acoustics. Modal analysis is a technique for studying the dynamic behavior of structures by measuring their vibration response and identifying their natural frequencies and mode shapes. ME'scopeVES can be used to transform analysis results from ArtemiS SUITE, a sound and vibration analysis software, into animated 3D models that show the deflection shapes of the structures under test.

In this article, we will explain how to use ME'scopeVES for modal analysis, using an example of a simple beam structure. We will assume that you have already installed ME'scopeVES and ArtemiS SUITE on your computer, and that you have access to a measurement device such as a microphone or an accelerometer.

Step 1: Prepare the Measurement Setup
The first step is to prepare the measurement setup, which consists of the structure to be tested, the excitation source, and the sensors. In our example, we will use a hammer as the excitation source, and two accelerometers as the sensors. We will attach one accelerometer to each end of the beam, and we will hit the beam with the hammer at different locations along its length. The accelerometers will measure the vibration response of the beam, while the hammer will measure the excitation force.

We will also need to connect the measurement device to the computer via a USB cable or a wireless connection, and launch ArtemiS SUITE. We will then create a new project in ArtemiS SUITE, and add two channels for the accelerometers and one channel for the hammer. We will configure the sampling rate, the measurement duration, and the trigger settings for each channel. We will also assign a name and a color to each channel for easy identification.

Step 2: Perform the Measurement
The next step is to perform the measurement, which involves hitting the beam with the hammer at different locations and recording the vibration response of the beam. We will start by hitting the beam near one end, and then move along its length until we reach the other end. We will repeat this process several times, until we have enough data points to cover all the possible modes of vibration of the beam.

We will use ArtemiS SUITE to record and display the time histories of each channel. We will also use ArtemiS SUITE to calculate and display the frequency spectra of each channel, using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm.. The frequency spectra will show us how much energy is present at each frequency in the vibration signal.

Step 3: Transfer Data to ME'scopeVES
The third step is to transfer data from ArtemiS SUITE to ME'scopeVES, which involves exporting the time histories and frequency spectra as text files, and importing them into ME'scopeVES. We will use ArtemiS SUITE to export each channel as a separate text file, containing both time domain and frequency domain data. We will also export a text file containing information about the measurement setup, such as channel names, units, sampling rate, etc.

We will then launch ME'scopeVES and create a new project. We will use ME'scopeVES to import all the text files into a single data block. A data block is a container for storing measurement data in ME'scopeVES. We will also use ME'scopeVES to create a geometry model of the beam structure, using simple drawing tools. A geometry model is a representation of the physical shape and dimensions of a structure in ME'scopeVES.

Step 4: Perform Modal Analysis
The final step is to perform modal analysis using ME'scopeVES, which involves identifying
the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the beam structure from its vibration response.
We will use ME'scopeVES to perform two main tasks: modal parameter estimation and
modal animation.

Modal parameter estimation is a process of finding numerical values for
the natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes of a structure from its frequency
spectra. We will use ME'scopeVES to apply a curve fitting algorithm to each frequency
spectrum in our data block. The curve fitting algorithm will try to match
