Pre-test solution process commands

Pre-Test
Pre-Test Creates a new pre-test solution process to find optimal sensor and exciter locations for modal testing.
Test Analysis Reference Solution Creates a new test analysis reference solution, which combines mode shapes from an existing normal modes solution with a wireframe.
Wireframe Elements Creates an automatic wireframe in the FEM.
Maximum Spread Node Group Creates a group of spatially distributed nodes to more easily define candidate DOFs for sensors and exciters.
Edit Candidate DOF for Sensors Lets you define and edit candidate DOF sets for sensor selection.
Edit Required DOF for Sensors Lets you define and edit required DOF sets for sensor selection.
New Sensor Configuration Creates a new pre-test sensor configuration.
Edit Active Sensor Configuration Edits the active pre-test sensor configuration.
Solve Active Sensor Configuration Solves the active sensor configuration.
Solve All Sensor Configurations Solves all sensor configurations for the active pre-test solution process.
Plot AutoMAC Displays the Auto-MAC heat map for the active sensor configuration.
Edit Sensor DOF for Exciters Lets you define and edit sensor DOF sets for exciter selection.
Edit Candidate DOF for Exciters Lets you define and edit candidate DOF sets for exciter selection.
New Exciter Configuration Creates a new pre-test exciter configuration.
Edit Active Exciter Configuration Edits the active pre-test exciter configuration.
Solve Active NMIF Configuration Solves the active NMIF exciter configuration.
Solve All NMIF Configurations Solves all the NMIF exciter configurations for the active pre-test solution process.
Select Active DPR Exciters Solves the selected DPR configuration. After a successful solve, it opens the Select Exciters dialog box to let you manually select the exciters.
