The Analyze Data tab lets you run a virtual analysis on a virtual bushing. The
results of this analysis are generated in an output .spd file. The
data in the output .spd file characterizes the behavior of the
model in terms of the parameters, frequencies, amplitudes and preloads specified in the
input .spd file(s) that you load prior to the analysis. From the
Review tab, you can review the results of the analysis and compare the performance of
the virtual bushing against the performance of the physical bushing.
Note: The purpose of
the Analyze Data tab is to provide information to help you understand how a set of
bushing coefficients performs in a virtual test. Operations on this tab are not part
the fitting process.
Select the Analyze Data tab.
If your project uses a hydromount bushing, the following page
appears: Figure 1.
Click on GBS File to locate the appropriate file.
By default, this field populates with a .gbs file that is
specified in the .spd file. If required, you can specify an
alternative .gbs file.
The .gbs file
contains the bushing parameters for the fitted bushing that the Analyze
algorithm requires to initiate an analysis. By default, the software
searches for a .gbs file with the same prefix as the
Application_Type field specified in the .spd
file.
Click View design parameters to view the model
parameters and optimization settings as you see in the following image. You can
modify the parameters as required.
