This video explains how to create a Shock Response Spectrum (SRS).
- Step 1: Open ‘Data Channels’ with a double click.
- Step 2: Select one or several input channels and click on ‘Add Channel’.
- Step 3: Add a new SRS module and enter a group name.
- Step 4: Define the start and stop frequency as well as the frequency resolution (band).
- Step 5: In the calculation settings, first configure damping using either Q-factor or damping ratio and choose the spectrum type (absolute maximum, maximum, or minimum).
- Step 6: Define then the calculation timeframe using manual range selection or linked cursors.
- Step 7: Enter SRS outputs in the form of acceleration, velocity, or displacement, along with acceleration-time responses of the SDOF systems for each selected frequency.
- Step 8: You can now see the SRS modules in the channel list.
- Step 9: Go to ‘Instrument Properties’ and activate Cursors.
- Step 10: Select A/B linked channels and activate your SRS group.
- Step 11: Use the A/B cursors to select the Analysis time window.
- Step 12: Acceleration, Velocity, and Displacement results are plotted over frequency in an Array Chart.
- Step 13: Individual acceleration-time response are displayed in a Recorder.
- Step 14: Readjust the timeframe via cursor positions if necessary.
