Examples

Example with results from a rotating blade model.

dsacpsdplot('./RotatingBlade/blade_1.dat.rpm',{'180';'300';'420'},'Expressions','blade_1 DEF 33 %','F7','Expressions','blade_1 LOAD','F4',[0.2,10],[0.5,2.5]);

Comments

This function creates a comparison plot of MotionView dsarun results in time and frequency domains by estimated FRF between multiple outputs signals and one single input signal (leveraging cross power spectral density).
