Abstract
In one embodiment, a system and method for determining a natural frequency of a structure involve modeling the structure, creating a synthesized excitation comprising a plurality of waves having various frequencies within a defined range of frequencies, applying the synthesized excitation to a base of the modeled structure, and generating response data indicative of a natural frequency of the modeled structure that is based upon the application of the synthesized excitation.
