OrderCut Analysis - Display

After loading a file, select a method to display and rank the orders

2D Line

Display

Select the type of curve to display.

RPM range

Select the RPM range that the order curves should be plotted within.

No. of highest order

After defining the RPM range, organize the display by selecting the number of highest orders.

Rank by

Define the method that is used to rank orders with one of the following options:

• Magnitude - Orders are ranked by the magnitude of the order. Available for Bar plot.
• RSS Magnitude - Orders are ranked by the root sum of squares of the magnitude of the order at selected frequencies. Available for 2D Line and 3D Surface plots.

Display Options

The Display Options dialog allows you to further customize the plot.

Display

Click Display to create and display the plot.

3D Surface

Creates a 3D Surface plot of the response within an RPM range.

RPM range indicates the available range, based on your results file.

Use the From and To fields to customize your own RPM range.

All other options are similar to those for the 2D Line plot.

Bar

Creates a Bar plot of the response at a specific frequency or RPM.

Enter a specific RPM in the Specific RPM field, or use the slider bar to select an RPM value. When you use the slider bar to select an RPM, a red line is displayed on the response plot and is dragged simultaneously as you drag the slider bar.

All other options are similar to those for the 2D Line plot.

Force Vector Animation

Displays animation of force vectors.

Select an RPM from the Specific RPM list.

Select an order from the Specific Order list.

Select vector display options for grid IDs and vector.
