Geometry/ODS/Animation is the primary EDM Modal software
module, required for every EDM Modal system. This option
provides fast and efficient structural model generation and full
3D visualization of test and analysis results.
The base elements (points, lines, and surfaces) can be
added/deleted graphically, or through Model Editor. The basic
component library includes: line, plane, cube, cylinder and
sphere. The geometry model can be saved and later recalled
by other tests. The Universal File Format (UFF) format of point
and line models is widely used, and may be imported to EDM
Modal Geometry.
Mode shape animation can be performed using the geometry
model. One cycle of the mode’s animation can be saved to an
.avi file.
EDM Modal Operational Deflection Shape (ODS) allows
users to visualize the deformation of the structure under test.
Time domain and spectrum data can be animated using the
geometry model. It works for all types of EDM Modal testing.
The database structure of EDM makes it very easy to navigate
and select source data. The vibration pattern, either in time
domain or frequency domain, can be saved to .avi video files.
