Results

Results provide performance insight for the simulation.

Notes

  1. The displacements/velocities/accelerations output are the total/absolute displacements/velocities/accelerations that include the specified enforced motion. The only exception is when the base excitation type is acceleration. In this case, the displacement/velocities/accelerations output are relative to the enforced motion specified in the model.
  2. When the base excitation type is displacement, the initial condition for displacement and velocity is always assumed to be zero.
  3. In SimSolid, the boundary compatibility is approximately met. The response at the constrained end is not going to be an absolute zero but is relatively small compared to the peak responses.
  4. Equivalent radiated power density is calculated as shown below:

    ERP Density = ERPRLF * (0.5 * ERPC * ERPHPO) * V2

    Where:

    V is the normal velocity of the picked point

    ERPC (speed of sound in air) = 343 m/s

    ERPRHO (density of air) = 1.225 Kg/m3

    ERPRLF (radiation loss factor) = 1

    Equivalent radiated power is calculated as an integral of ERP density over a picked face(s), as shown:

    ERP = ERPRLF * (0.5 * ERPC * ERPRHO)
