a dip in Frequency vs Displacement Graph.

Hey! I am working on a resonator. My resonance frequency is 0.9821 MHz. Why this dip is occurring on resonance frequency?

Hi,

The result is imaginary at resonance. You are plotting the real part, which becomes zero.

From the user guide:
---------------
Most results of a frequency domain analysis are complex. In results evaluation, the real value of any result quantity will be shown. Assuming that you want to display for example the displacement in the x-direction, u, you have following options:

- Plot u or real(u). This gives the displacement at zero phase angle.
- Plot imag(u). This gives the displacement at a phase angle of 90 degrees.
- Plot abs(u). This gives the amplitude of the displacement.
- Plot arg(u). This gives the phase angle of the displacement.

Regards,
Henrik
