Viewing the Results

  1. In the Simulation study tree, right-click the Results folder and select Define Displacement Plot.
  2. In the PropertyManager, under Display do the following:
    1. Set Component to UY: Y Displacement.
    2. Set Units to mm.
  3. Click .

    The RMS plot of the UY-displacement component appears in the graphics area.

    The maximum rms (or standard deviation) of the UY component is 2.4 mm. Assuming a zero mean and Gaussian probability distribution:

    The probability that the magnitude of UY will not exceed 2.4 mm is 68.27%.

    The probability that the magnitude of UY will not exceed 4.8 mm (2*RMS) is 95.45%.

    The probability that the magnitude of UY will not exceed 7.2 mm (3*RMS) is 99.73%.

      Probability values of non-exceedance
      For 68.27% of cases For 95.45% of cases For 99.73% of cases
    UY displacement (mm) -2.4 to 2.4 (mean - rms to mean +rms) -4.8 to 4.8 (mean - 2*rms to mean + 2*rms) -7.2 to 7.2 (mean -3*rms -- mean + 3*rms)
    The mean value of UY is 0.
