Overview:

The new MotionSolve interactive plots feature is part of the new "MD_Tools for Compose" extension.

MotionSolve interactive plots feature enables to easily compare multiple MotionSolve results in either the time or frequency domain (leveraging either FRFs, FFTs, or CPSDs).

Pre-Requisite:

MD_Tools for Compose and MD_Tools for TwinActivate (*) extension must be installed.

(*) Note : upon need.

Usage/Installation Instructions:

Initialize "RotatingBlade" tutorial files (if needed):

  1. Open "MD_Plugin/Mdt4Compose/Demos/Mdt4Compose/RotatingBlade" folder.
  2. Define new Windows desktop shortcut to local "__GO.omd" Compose distributable.
  3. Rename new Windows shortcut as "RotatingBlade" and double-pick it.
  4. Wait for related MotionSolve jobs to complete…
  5. Review the new content of local "_9_Results/MODEL" subfolder.

Download/unpack attached ZIP file:

_2024__MD_Plugin_MSplots.zip

to review embedded unpacked video and on-line help abstract describing the following topics:

  1. Video describing the use of Compose.
  2. On-line help abstract describing the related functions.

Note : MotionSolve interactive plots can be accessed from either dedicated Compose or TwinActivate "MD_Tools" menus or command lines.

Leverage either Compose or TwinActivate GUI:

  1. Go to: MD_Tools -> MotionSolve plots -> select either:
    1. Transient time-histories
    2. Linear FRFs
    3. Transient FFTs
    4. Transient CPSDs
  2. Answer interactive dialog to select existing MotionSolve XML jobs
  3. Answer interactive dialogs to select available result type, name(s), component name(s)
  4. Answer interactive dialog(s) to select available reference

Note 1 : equivalent OML statements can be build by leveraging the following statements with automated on-line help:

<oml> md

<oml> ms_th , ms_frf , ms_fft , ms_cpsd

Note 2 : full PDF on-line help can be accessed from either Compose or TwinActivate GUI:

Go to: File -> Extensions -> MD_Tools for xxx -> Details -> View Documentation

Release Version: v2024.x
