Characteristic Modes

A characteristic mode results can be added to a valid view or graph. The mode can either be untracked or tracked by correlating modes between frequency runs.

On the Home tab, in the Add results group, click the  Characteristic Modes Configuration icon.

The following quantities are available for characteristic modes:
  • Eigenvalue
  • Modal significance
  • Characteristic angle
  • Modal excitation coefficient
  • Modal weighting coefficient
Note: For the independent axis you can plot the results versus Frequency, Mode index or Mode index (untracked).
