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.
