Abstract:

The SMS eigensolver is a high performance method for calculating approximate eigenvalues and eigenvectors for structural vibration problems. As with many approximation methods, there is a tradeoff of performance versus accuracy. The SMS method provides three parameters that a user can adjust to tune the performance/accuracy for a particular problem. To understand how these parameters affect the results, it is important to understand how the SMS method works.
