New Correlation dialog box
| Name | |
|---|---|
| Name | A descriptive name for the correlation. |
| Description | A longer description for the correlation. |
| From DOF | |
| Node ID, DOF Type | List of possible excitations (by the node ID and direction in which the excitation is applied) that can be correlated. Select a single excitation from the list. Note: You can only define correlations between the same types of excitations. For example, you can define correlations between a distributed load and another distributed load, a nodal force and a nodal force, or an enforced motion and enforced motion. |
| To DOF | |
| Node ID, DOF Type | List of the possible excitations that can be correlated with the excitation you select in the From DOF list. |
| Correlation Type | |
| Correlation Type | By Phase Angle — separates the two excitations by a phase angle.By Time Delay — separates the two excitations by a number of seconds. |
| Phase Angle | The phase angle used to define the phase difference between the two excitations. |
| Time Delay | The number of seconds used to separate the two excitations. |
