  - Load an NVH Utility
  - Integrated Diagnostics
    Calculate a response, perform contribution analysis, plot results, and perform diagnostic studies and study response changes.
  - Modal Participation
    Plot modal/panel participation curves from an OptiStruct .h3d file or an MSC Nastran .f06/.pch file.
  - Grid Participation
    The Grid Participation utility allows you to plot panel grid participation results and then use advanced scaling contour capabilities to isolate key contributing areas.
  - Energy Distribution
    Visualize the distribution of energy within a full vehicle NVH model, as a way to understand what components are dominating the vehicle response.
  - Transfer Path Analysis
    Identifies the complex contribution of the excited structure through attachment points to a response in the responding structure.
  - Design Sensitivity Analysis
    Design sensitivity represents a change in response with respect to a change in a design variable, which is typically used for optimization.
  - Order Analysis
    Generates and post-processes engine order related data from an OptiStruct or Nastran frequency response analysis that contains either RPM-based loading subcases or order-based loading subcases.
  - Modal FRF
    Calculate a frequency response based on modal results.
  - Model Correlation
    The Model Correlation utility determines the degree of similarity or correlation between two sets of results.
  - Radiated Sound
    The Equivalent Radiated Sound utility post-processes the results of exterior structure-borne radiated sound.
  - Global Modes
    Identifies global modes from an OptiStruct or Nastran modal analysis.
  - Flow Induced Noise/General Signal Processing
    The General Signal Processing utility processes the time domain pressure results from CFD simulations and visualizes the results in both the time and frequency domain.
  - Green House Noise
    Post-process the pressure result of a vehicle panel obtained from ultraFluidX.
  - 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.
  - Optimization, RBDO
    Optimizes sensitive parameters for multiple sample analysis results using the RBDO or Deterministic approach.
  - Multiple Sample Analysis
    Post-process results from a Multiple Sample Analysis, including plotting a spread of responses (+/-95% and mean).
  - Deterministic Optimization
    Reads results from an OptiStruct optimization run and processes the results to review the overlay of the NVH responses, baseline versus optimized. Compare changes in the design variable values, baseline versus optimized.
  - Display Options
    Customize plots using the following options
  - Filter Contributors
    Filters contributors to a smaller set of data.
High Frequency NVH
High frequency NVH is an implementation of Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA), and is used to predict and analyze the vibration and acoustic response of complex dynamic systems.
Squeak and Rattle
Create and evaluate evaluation lines and optimize interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.
