ExtractParticipation

Extracts the specified participation component.

Inputs

normalized_participation
A scalar or vector value table.
total_response
The ID of the node where the total response will be used for projection.
direction_component
Directional component of the participation value to be extracted (default = "XYZ").
complex_component
Complex component of the participation value to be extracted (default = "Proj").

Outputs

answer
A scalar value table.

Comments

  • normalized_participation is computed by dividing the elemental participation by shell area, from which the specified participation component is to be extracted.
  • direction_component can be any directional component (“x”, “y”, or “z”), or the entire vector (“xyz”). “xyz” is the default.
  • complex_component controls how scalars are extracted from complex participation values. Valid options are “proj”, “mag”, “phase”, “real”, and “imag”. The default is “proj”.
