New Response Dynamics dialog box

Name
Name A descriptive name for the Response Dynamics solution process. This name identifies the solution process in the Simulation Navigator.
Description Lets you include a long description for the solution process.
Solution
Type****Name Lists the type (Dynamic) and name of each solved solution that is available for which to create a Response Dynamics solution process. The following are valid solution types:SOL 103 Real EigenvaluesSOL 103 Response DynamicsSelect a solution from the list.
Event Evaluation File
The settings in this group are excluded by the random base excitation event.
Import Event from File Imports saved event definitions from an event evaluation file (EEF). The imported events and excitations appear in the Simulation Navigator for evaluation within the Response Dynamics solution process you are creating.Note: When you create the Response Dynamics solution process with imported events, you cannot change the damping values and you cannot remove modes from the list of modes to evaluate. See Efficiency through restart analysis for more information.Enter, or browse, to the path and file name of the event evaluation file to import.
Solution Attributes
Appears when a solution in the Solution list table is selected.The settings in this group are ignored by the random base excitation event.
Rigid-Body Tolerance Sets the frequency tolerance for determining rigid-body modes. All models have at least six rigid-body modes (three translational and three rotational). In the calculations, the software assumes that any mode below this frequency is a rigid-body mode.
Evaluation Scratch Directory Settings
The settings in this group are excluded by the random base excitation event.
Use Scratch Directory Lets you specify an existing local directory to use for processing files locally when the software is accessing the model across a network. Using a local scratch directory allows for faster processing time than accessing the files across a network. During the response dynamics evaluation, the RS2 results file remains in its original location, but the EEF (event evaluation file, if it exists), OP2, and other necessary files are copied to the scratch directory where they are accessed until the evaluation is complete. When you close the Simulation file or Simcenter 3D, these scratch files are deleted, but the original files remain in their original location.Note: If the EEF file is needed but does not exist, the software creates it in the scratch directory and then copies it to the network location when the evaluation process is complete.
