Calculating Blocked Forces is easy in SOURCE. However, selecting the right number of forces and the right DoFs to use can be challenging. How many forces do I actually need to describe the system? Should I include the rotational DoFs? These are common questions you might ask yourself when calculating Blocked Forces.
To answer them, VIBES has developed X-DoF, a new patent-pending algorithm!
With Blocked Forces, you model an excitation source independently of the receiver. You might think that the more degrees of freedom you have, the better you can describe your system. However, when calculating Blocked Forces using the in-situ method (which includes a matrix inversion), you can run into the problem of modeling measurement noise and not only the source dynamics. So, too many DoFs lead to overfitting the noise of the indicator data. This noise data reduces the quality of the Blocked Force model and, thus, also its TPA predictions.
With too many DoFs you will model measurement noise and not only the system dynamics.
