FRF pair XY plots

For one or more FRF pairs, you can generate graphs of the work FRFs, reference FRFs, or both to evaluate the degree of correlation between the work and reference solutions.

Reference FRF

Displays the selected FRFs from the test solution in the local test coordinate system.

Reference FRF for one FRF pair

Work FRF

Displays the selected FRFs, for specified input and output DOFs, from the analysis solution in the local analysis coordinate system.

Work input FRFs for X and Z output DOFs and Y input DOF

Overlay FRFs

Displays the selected FRFs from both the analysis and test solutions in the local test coordinate system. As the work FRFs are transformed to the test coordinate system, the DOF information is the same for the work and reference FRFs.
