Inertia and Damping Force Plots
Posted: 10 Nov 2014, 15:32
When I plot the inertia and damping forces in the post-processor 'Global Response Parameters', the title of the plot does not change when I change to toggle from 'Inertia' to 'Damping'. The title of the plot remains 'Global Damping Forces' whether 'Damping' or 'Inertia' is selected. The values on the plot do change and look reasonable. It is simply that the plot title remains 'Global Damping Forces' even when 'Inertia' is selected. If the user is not paying attention, he/she may get a false sense of the level of damping forces, i.e., when 'Inertia' is selected, the plot still reads 'Global Damping Forces', so the user may mistakenly believe the plot is for damping forces.
