Plot frequency response functions

Your test solution must contain frequency response function (FRF) results.

  1. On the Resource bar, select XY Function Navigator .

  2. Under the Associated AFU node, expand the node associated to your test solution containing the FRF data. AFU Files — XY Tabular Functions Associated AFU airplane–Test Solution 1_(885X+,856Z+)0 2(856Z+,856Z+)0 3(871Z+,856Z+)_0

  3. In the XY Function Navigator, select one or more frequency response functions.

  4. Right-click the selection and choose Plot(XY).

  5. (Optional) To add an additional FRF to the plot, right-click the additional FRF node and choose Overlay.

  6. (Optional) To plot both magnitude and phase of the FRFs, do the following:Choose Results tab→Function Plot group→Complex Options .In the Complex Options dialog box, select Magnitude & Phase.Click OK.

  7. (Optional) To plot FRFs in a polar domain, do the following:Choose Results tab→Function Plot group→Complex Options .In the Complex Options dialog box, select 2D Polar.Click OK.
