Abstract
Model Order Reduction is an essential tool in analysis of structures exhibiting nonlinear dynamic behaviour. In this work the model order reduction method of Modal Derivatives, which is an extension of the linear Modal Truncation method into the nonlinear regime, is implemented in an automated scheme starting from a Finite Element discretization based on a Kirchhoff-Love shell element. After validation of the implementation, multiple thin-walled examples are analyzed and the results of the reduced-order model are compared to results from literature.
