B 92 51 Create 'wavercon.dat' input file

pjoynt · April 21, 2022, 12:02

Hi All,

To generate the "wavercon.dat" input file I need to provide three columns "A", "omega", and "phi". I was wondering if there is a certain format that the rows should be in (ascending omega?). Additionally, I wanted to check the units:

A = Amplitude = meters
omega = Angular Frequency = rad/s
phi = Phase = rad

Thanks!
Patrick

You are correct (though it might not be a problem if they are not in ascending order).
Also SI units as you mention.

Just make sure the first row is not 0.0 0.0 0.0
(which can happen from a Matlab FFT output).
