The Load Identification Analysis module calculates operational forces acting on a system in either a direct way, an inverse way or through a combination of both methods. In the direct or mount stiffness method, the load is computed by multiplying the difference in operating displacement over a mount with its dynamic stiffness. The inverse method computes the acting loads applying the principle that the operational responses are due to the acting loads. By inverting the FRF matrix between the load application points and the operational response locations, and multiplying with the operational responses, the loads are obtained.
