The Mode Lists are present in the following editors:

• The Mode Organizer Editor

Below is shown an example of the Mode List View.

The list presents the following information about an estimated mode:

• Mode: A short information string presenting which estimator has been used to estimate the mode (FDD, EFDD, UPC-SSI, PC-SSI, CVA-SII or imported mode).

• Frequency [Hz]: In case of multiple test setups, the presented value is the average of the natural frequency estimates of the individual test setups. In this case the standard deviation of the resulting natural frequency is presented in the following column (Std. Frequency [Hz]).

• Damping ratio [%]: In case of multiple test setups, the presented value is the average of the damping ratio estimates of the individual test setup. In this case the standard deviation of the resulting damping ratio is presented in the following column (Std. Damping Ratio [%]).

• Comment: A user-specified comment field about the mode. If one or more modes have been identified using the Automatic Modal Estimation dialog Found Automatically appears in the comment field.

• Creation Date & Time: The time and date when the mode is created.

There are some general options which support all the above mentioned editors. These options are:

• The List View Organization

• Export Modes in the file formats .SVS and .UFF

• Delete estimated or / and imported modes

• Write a comment to each estimated mode
