Correlation commands
| Correlation commands | |
|---|---|
| Test Reference | Creates a test solution in the modal test data environment. This solution type can be used as a reference solution for the correlation solution process. |
| Analysis Reference | Imports a structural analysis solution. This solution type can be used as a reference solution for the correlation solution process. |
| Test Analysis Reference Solution | Creates a test analysis reference solution, which combines mode shapes from an existing normal modes solution with a wireframe to visualize the shapes on the simplified version of the model. |
| Correlation | Creates a correlation solution process. |
| Refresh Correlation | Updates the active correlation solution process when the work or reference solution results, the node map, or any other correlation settings have changed. |
| Plot MAC | Displays the MAC heat map for the correlation of the mode shapes of the reference and work solutions. |
| Plot X-Ortho | Displays the cross-orthogonality heat map for the correlation of the mode shapes of the reference and work solutions. |
