Laminate Dynamics

Random Event

Use the Random Event command to:

  • Specify a base excitation PSD function.

  • Specify the excitation coordinate system.

  • Specify the excitation axis.

  • Set the following analysis parameters:PSD and peak evaluation frequency lower and upper bounds.Confidence level. Enter the confidence level directly or specify an equivalent Gaussian number of standard deviations, from which the software computes the confidence level.Define whether the displacement-based results are absolute, or relative to the base excitation.

  • Define output requests using a Laminate Random Output Requests modeling object.

You create a random event in an active dynamic simulation. A dynamic simulation can contain multiple random events that you can solve one by one or all at the same time.
