                        4.  Plot UY vs. frequency
                           In the “Time History Variables” window click the “Plot” button,
                           two buttons to the left of “Add.” The following graph should be
                           plotted in  the  main  ANSYS window.





























                               Note that we get peaks at frequencies  of  approximately  8.3
                           and  51  Hz.  This  corresponds  with  the  predicted  frequencies  of
                           8.311 and 51.94 Hz.
                               To get a better view of the response, view the log scale of UY.
                              Select Utility  Menu >  PlotCtrls >  Style >Graphs
                                              > Modify Axis
