Structural Analysis of Plate - Transient Response to Dynamic Point Force

Hello,

My research involves structual analysis of plates. Does anyone have input as the Matlab's ability to model the transient response of a plate due to a point force?

I have seen open-source models pertaining to static loads, but what about dynamic? I want to plot the response of certain points on the plate.

Are there models that include boundary reflections?

I would like to develop/use such a model for analysis of guided waves. Has anyone been able to simulate guided waves in matlab?
