3D Body Impulse Response

This calculator will determine the 3D body response to an impulse load. The body is suspended on a spring damper.

Model summary

Inputs: User input box dimensions and weight.

Inputs: User input box corner spring rates and viscous damping values.

Inputs: User selected impulse options from ½ sine, triangular, sawtooth or rectangular.

Outputs: CG vertical acceleration and box corner reaction loads versus time.

Visual: The response is animated.

Hint: The configuration and results can be saved to a JSON file for future use.

Hint: The system is drawn in a window that can be mouse zoomed and mouse rotated. It can also be mouse dragged by holding the shift key. Slider bars are available to adjust the animation amplitude and speed.
