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.
