View sensitivity matrix

This example shows how to display sensitivities for each design variable, with respect to each frequency or mode shape target in the graphics window.

  1. Choose Correlation tab→Model Update group→Plot Sensitivities .

  2. 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 .

  3. (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.
