Generating New Field Samples from Amplitudes

The Field data models menu option Approximate from imported data > Random field from amplitudes generates new field samples from selected amplitudes.

  • The respective random field model must exist in the database.

  • You must select the complete set of amplitudes, starting at [1]. For example, select:

    • amp[pstrain][element]_shape[1]

    • amp[pstrain][element]_shape[2]

    • amp[pstrain][element]_shape[n]

  • oSP3D determines the random field models that are associated with the selected amplitudes. For each random field model, the generation of field samples is carried out.

  • The new field quantity is named smoothened[quantity ident].

Usage

  • Simulation of random fields

    • Analyze a random field.

    • Delete computed amplitudes.

    • Generate new amplitudes (zero mean, unit standard deviation) outside of oSP3D. You can use CSV Files.

    • Import these new amplitudes.

    • Generate one or more new field designs.

  • Statistical smoothening

    Eliminate noise, where noise is considered to be the variations associated with small correlation lengths.

  • Restore eroded data

    Instead of the interpolation of adjacent values of missing items, which is the default during import, you can use Karhunen-Loeve expansion in terms of a "statistical interpolation" of the missing data items.
