- SDT parametric EMA video showcase ➡️ Temperature-dependent MIMO transfers 🌡Following up on previous post presenting our two-step standardized strategy to tackle parametric EMA, this one illustrates its implementation where the varying parameter is the temperature. 📝 The data is part of our tutorials for parametric experimental modal analysis on the GARTEUR test case with temperature dependency. The test being… Read more: SDT parametric EMA video showcase ➡️ Temperature-dependent MIMO transfers 🌡
- Code consistency and documentationOK, now that I have this SDT model, what can I do with it ? ❓Our interactions with SDT users have highlighted some recurring queries:– What are the data structures used in SDT? (models, deformations, transfers…)– What can I do with each one of them? (examples, tutorials, list of functions,… Read more: Code consistency and documentation
- Parametric Experimental Modal AnalysisA few years ago, we collaborated with the SHM team of PIMM on Experimental Modal Analysis of a polypropylene plate as function of temperature:🤝 https://www.sdtools.com/pimm-lab-identification-of-material-property-dependency-to-temperature/ 🕓 Since then, many other parametric EMA studies have been performed. We have converged toward a standardized strategy that tackles all these analyses using the same… Read more: Parametric Experimental Modal Analysis
- MDRE on spatially sparse vibration shapesHow to ease analysis of spatially sparse vibration shapes ? ❗ Vibration measurements using accelerometers may be difficult to analyze because few sensors are often available leading to spatially sparse shapes. Animations of shapes involving single-axis sensors are even more tedious to read. Indeed, one tends to interpret the displayed… Read more: MDRE on spatially sparse vibration shapes
- Reduced model animation on reduced mesh through cuts (slices)Are you suffering from slow animations with large FEM results? Do you need to navigate into huge FEM DoE where full result would be TB of data? 💡 Rather than storing full results and animating the usual skin mesh, SDTools is finding many industrial reasons to store reduced models, perform… Read more: Reduced model animation on reduced mesh through cuts (slices)
- Automatic reportingClassical off the shelves analyses in SDT (EMA, numerical modal analysis, shape correlation, …) are integrated with automated report generation. Tables, animations, pictures, text… can then be easily analyzed with main results displayed at the same time and same place with a unified formatting. 📤Default output formats are Microsoft Word… Read more: Automatic reporting
