4.3 Grouping Data & Test Assemblies

Grouping Datasets

To better structure your datasets, you can organize them in groups.

To group datasets you have to:

1. Select the desired datasets
2. Right-click on them
3. Select Group

Test Assemblies

Test assemblies are a key feature when calculating Blocked Forces with one setup and using them for TPA synthesis in other target assemblies. They are used to define which data of the analysis should be used for characterization and which for the TPA syntheses.

To assign a test assembly to your data you have to:

1. Go to the Operational Data module.
2. Select the operational datasets that are used for the analysis.
3. In the Test Assembly field, type a code (e.g. TA-01).
4. Go to the FRF Data module.
5. Select the FRF dataset that is used for the Blocked Forces calculation (characterization FRF).
6. In the Test Assembly field, type the same code used for the operationals (e.g. TA-01).
7. Select the FRF datasets that are used for the syntheses.
8. In the Test Assembly field, type a different code (e.g. TA-02).
