Modal (ANSYS) Project Selection

Left, click on Modal (ANSYS), , and drag it to the right of the "Cantilever" project. You should then see a red box to the right of the "Cantilever" project that says "Create standalone system" as shown below.

Attach Geometry from Cantilever to Cantilever Modal

The geometry for the "Cantilever Beam Modal Analysis" tutorial is the same as the geometry for the "Cantilever Beam" tutorial. Instead of recreating the geometry, we will simple attach the geometry from the Static Structural Analysis System (Cantilever) to the Modal Analysis System. In order to attach the geometry, left click geometry in Cantilever and drag it to geometry in Cantilever Modal, as shown below.

Then release the left mouse button. You should now see that the geometries are shared as shown in the following image.
