The discrepancies are judged to be

The discrepancies are judged to be satisfactory given the small number of states available for the calculation of the curve from META compared to the time step of the curve from the solver.A step-by-step process has been described for creating a user-defined section within META, graphically displaying its vector components of Force and plotting the X force component in the 2D Plot tool of META.The accuracy of the calculation has also been demonstrated plotting results calculated by META against those from the time-history file of the model, judged to be acceptable.Pre-Test analysis and Modal Parameter EstimationPre-Test analysis and Modal Parameter EstimationTable of ContentsThis training material presents the procedure to correlate the physical model with the FE model.1.1 PrerequisitesThe user should be familiar with the META graphical user interface and the general terminology of post-processing and NVH discipline.In order to perform a correlation between the physical model and the FE model, some test data should be available from the testing department.The positioning of the instruments could be suggested from the analysis of the FE model, in order to have an accurate representation.
