Tools for Understanding Dynamic Analysis in SOLIDWORKS

I believe everyone needs a refresher on engineering mechanics and material science.  Especially when they are trying to virtually analyze their products.  When doing a dynamic analysis there are many things software is doing to the data you input before it can be used.  The help menu tells you the exact equations but not how and why they are being used.  Here are some of the videos I watched to help me better understand what it takes to do a dynamic test:
