Reduce the model to the fixed interface modes in the specified frequency range and the boundary interface degrees of freedom.

Create a transient structural model for a 3-D problem.

structuralmodel = createpde('structural','transient-solid');

Create a geometry and include it in the model. Plot the geometry.

gm = multicuboid(0.1,0.01,0.01);
structuralmodel.Geometry = gm;
pdegplot(structuralmodel,'FaceLabels','on','FaceAlpha',0.5)

Specify the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and mass density of the material.

structuralProperties(structuralmodel,'YoungsModulus',70E9, ...
                                     'PoissonsRatio',0.3, ...
                                     'MassDensity',2700);

Generate a mesh.

generateMesh(structuralmodel);

Specify the ends of the beam as structural superelement interfaces. The reduced-order model technique retains the degrees of freedom on the superelement interfaces while condensing the degrees of freedom on all other boundaries. For better performance, use the set of edges that bound each side of the beam instead of using the entire face.

structuralSEInterface(structuralmodel,'Edge',[4,6,9,10]);
structuralSEInterface(structuralmodel,'Edge',[2,8,11,12]);

Reduce the model to the fixed interface modes in the frequency range [-Inf,500000] and the boundary interface degrees of freedom.

R = reduce(structuralmodel,'FrequencyRange',[-Inf,500000])

R =
