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. |
