Correlate dialog box

Metric
Method Appears when using the correlation solution process.Specifies the correlation metric to correlate reference and work modes.MACCorrelates the reference and work solutions using MAC numbers. See Modal Assurance Criteria (MAC) for more information.COMACCorrelates the reference and work solutions using COMAC numbers. See Coordinate MAC (COMAC) for more information.MSFObtains the modal scale factor relating reference and work solutions' mode shapes. See Modal Scale Factor (MSF) for more information.X-ORTHOObtains the cross-orthogonality matrix for the mass-weighted mode shapes. See Cross-orthogonality (X-Ortho) for more information.Note: X-ORTHO is only available if the work solution contains a reduced mass matrix.
Output Appears when using the pre-test solution process.Specifies the MAC correlation metric using the candidate modes and the relevant DOFs taken from either the required/initial DOFs, the candidate DOFs, or a sensor selection configuration.MACComputes and displays the Auto-MAC matrix. For more information, see Modal Assurance Criteria (MAC).MODMAC EvolutionAppears when the MODMAC algorithm is used.Plots the MODMAC Evolution bar chart. For more information, see MODMAC algorithm.
Opens the Viewport selection tool so that you can select where you want to display the matrix with correlation metric results.
Opens the Information window with the correlation metric results and additional information.
Exports the selected correlation metric to an Excel spreadsheet.
Exports the selected correlation metric to a CSV file.
