Analysis Software Options
Brüel and Kjaer
Bruel and Kjaer have a couple different software packages that are very impressive;
again for both post processing and analyzing vibration in real time.
ProAnalyst
Xcitex’s ProAnalyst software is unique in that it uses video for determining vibration
levels and analyzing them. Seems like a very powerful tool that can simplify the
hardware setup! The costs don’t seem too ludicrous either, only $1,795 for their
introductory edition. It quickly starts climbing towards $10K and beyond though for
the professional edition and different toolkits. I do like how they come right out and
list the pricing instead of requiring you to fill out a form!
FEMtools
For modal analysis and validating CAD models with experimental data, FEMtools is a
very powerful tool. It can also be used for general post processing of time history
vibration data.
