Vibration Visualization
ODS window is available in all the three test types of EDM Spider DSA software.
This option provides fast and efficient structural model generation and full 3D
visualization of the structure under test.
The base elements (points, lines, and surfaces) can be added/deleted graphically,
or through typed Model Editor entry. Components can be specified for each part
of the structure when they are created. Each component can have its own origin,
as well as its directions and Euler angles. The basic component library includes:
line, plane, cube, cylinder and sphere. Any of these can be added to the geometry
model by specifying origin, direction, dimensions, and the number of cells of the
component.
The geometry model can be saved and later recalled by other tests. Also, the
model can be cleared when the user wants to start over with a new geometry
model for the structure under test. Several types of format from 3
rd
party
applications are supported for geometry model import. The Universal File Format
(UFF) format of point and line models is widely used, may be imported to EDM
DSA Operational Deflection Shape.
Editor is designed to help users to create the geometric models for viewing the
operational deflection shapes of the test structure including adding and deleting
the points, lines, surfaces, cubes, spheres, and cylinders.
