Operating Deflection Shapes

ARTeMIS Extractor and ARTeMIS Analyzer includes time as well as frequency domain Operating Deflection Shapes (ODS). These features allow you to study the overall vibration pattern either over a time segment or at a specific frequency.

ODS analysis is very beneficial in combination with Operational Modal Analysis as it determines and visualizes the combination of the actual forcing functions acting on the structure and the dynamic behavior of the structure. Results can be shown as displacement, velocity or acceleration in SI, Imperial or user-defined units (Time Domain ODS). Decimation and various filters (low-pass, band-pass, band-stop and high-pass) can be applied to frequency limit the analysis.

Both time and frequency domain ODS is available in all versions of ARTeMIS Extractor and ARTeMIS Analyzer.

Time Domain Operating Deflection Shapes

The key features of the Time Domain Operating Deflection Shapes are:

  • Time domain animation test setup by test setup of all frequency content.
  • View the animation as a movie or step through the movement, time step by time step.
  • Units (displacement, velocity, acceleration) and scaling can be selected on the fly.
  • The measurements can be signal processed using the same Signal Processing Control dialog as used by the modal analysis techniques.
  • AVI movie creation of animations.

Frequency Domain Operating Deflection Shapes

The key features of the Frequency Domain Operating Deflection Shapes are:

  • Frequency domain animation of all test setup using multiple reference estimation.
  • Unscaled or scaled animation using phased assigned spectrum with a specific reference.
  • View the animation as a movie or step through the movement, frequency step by frequency step.
  • Units (displacement, velocity, acceleration) and scaling can be selected on the fly.
  • The measurements can be signal processed using the same Signal Processing Control dialog as used by the modal analysis techniques.
  • AVI movie creation of animations.
