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”.
