SumParticipation
Calculates the resultant response by summing nodal acoustic grid participations.
Inputs
- raw_participation
- A scalar or vector value table.
- response_id
- The ID of the node where the sum will be output.
- summation_mode
- RSS or complex value sum (default).
- summation_set
- A file name specifying the nodes to sum (optional).
Outputs
- answer
- A nodal scalar value table.
Comments
- summation_mode is optional and will default to component mode of not specified, in which case the complex value summation method be used to calculate the sum of nodal participation values. If the mode is set to “RSS”, the root-sum-squared method will be used to calculate the sum of each nodal participation value.
- summation_set is optional and will compute the sum of participation from all nodes that have a value. If a summation set file is given, only those values will be processed. This file must be a text file with a single line containing a node ID. This support was added because entity set support did not exist when this operator was created, and it is necessary for acoustic participation analysis. No pool support exists, and this support will be replaced with a set in a future version.
