- Run modal analysis, then check for instabilities while reviewing results (modal shapes, periods, etc.). Instabilities are clearly indicated by animating mode shapes.

NOTE: A variation of this process may be used to troubleshoot convergence problems which occur during time-history analysis. When a certain step fails to converge, run analysis until that step, then run modal analysis using stiffness at that step to check for instabilities. |
