      - Access Model Correlation in HyperView
      - Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC)
        Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) is a measure of the correlation between two vibration shapes.
      - PreTest
        PreTest allows prediction and optimization of the sensor locations (accelerometers) for measurements and directions along with test excitation point location, a very important step in the experimental modal analysis process directly affecting the accuracy of test results. Driving point residue (DPR) calculation gives information on optimum point for excitation location.
      - Frequency Response Assurance Criterion (FRAC)
        Frequency Response Assurance Criterion (FRAC) is a measure of the correlation between two frequency response functions (FRFs) representing the same input-output relationship.
    - Mount Optimization
      Predicts powertrain rigid body mode frequencies and kinetic energy distribution, which play a critical role in optimizing the mount stiffness and layout configuration, by decoupling powertrain rigid body modes and reducing vibration transmission.
  - Vehicle Safety Tools
    The Vehicle Safety Tools (VST) is a collection of over 200 macros, Templex functions, and external functions for use by a vehicle safety engineer.
