ANSYS: What are vibrating feeder's boundary conditions?

[Butters]

I have created such vibrating feeder model on SW but on ANSYS I'm only analyzing the frame.

1)How do I set up boundary conditions, I think I need elastic supports?
2)In modal analysis I have elastic, fixed supports, remote displacement - which should I use and in what directions?
3)Do I perform modal analysis with the screens or without?
4)Is there any way to input frequency parameters and find out fatigue?

Hi Butters,

I would love to help you.
But I don't understand your model. Can you upload more links or videos on what exactly is your "feeder"

RKD89, really the model is not that complicated. It consists of a simple through frame which is supported by 6 leaf springs at the bottom. Inside the through we have 4 waved plates (for transferred material alignment) which are fixed by the sides to the walls of the frame. The serrated plates are positioned in a way that each one is lower than the previous one creating down sloping steps.
