Postprocessor Functions

The postprocessor functions available in the ATILA-GiD interface can be accessed via icons and/or menus.

Postprocessor Icons

Frequency List: Opens a window showing the list of frequencies obtained from modal or modal resantires analysis.
 
Animation: This is a special animation feature that is used to animate one particular frequency of a harmonic analysis or modal analysis. This icon serves as a toggle switch between the animation mode and the normal postprocessing mode.
 
Admittance & Impedance: Displays the magnitude and phase for the admittance and impedance in the case of a harmonic analysis.
 
TVR: Displays the TVR and values for a harmonic case. Only the directions 0 and 90º can be obtained at this time.
 
Beam Patterns: Displays the beam patterns associated to a particular frequency.
 
Clear Graphs: This function clears all currently displayed graphs and associated dialog and text windows.

Postprocessor Menus
