If the superposition principle applies, so if you can solve for each frequency
separately, I guess you should exploit that.
That may be slightly more difficult to do when using GetDP.  If computational
cost is not an issue, then you can solve for all frequencies together.

If the different frequencies are coupled (due to material nonlinearity, movement,
...), it's a completely different and much more complicated story. I've published
several articles about that (the harmonic balance finite element method). If
you're interested, I can send you some copies.

Bye,
Johan
