This example shows how to display sensitivities for each design variable, with respect to each frequency or mode shape target in the graphics window.
Choose Correlation tab→Model Update group→Plot Sensitivities .
In the Viewport dialog box, do one of the following:To plot the 2D matrix plot in the main graphics window, click Select Viewport by Cursor , and then click in the graphics window.To plot the 2D matrix plot in a separate graphics window, click Create New Window .
(Optional) Modify the matrix display. For more information, see Edit 2D matrix plot display.In the following example, the X-axis lists the active frequency (F/1 to F/10) and mode shape (S/1 to S/10) targets. The Y-axis lists the design variables.
