Duplicating Integration Lines

You can duplicate an integration line along a vector multiple times and assign to additional modes at the port. This section shows how to duplicate the integration line in the following figure.

  1. In the Wave Port dialog box, click the Modes tab and draw the integration line 1 on the port.

    Model of port with integration line.

  2. Enter the number of modes and select Duplicate Previous Line from the Integration Line column.

    Wave Port dialog. Number of modes defined as 2. Mode 2 integration line field set to Duplicate Previous Line.

  3. Click an arbitrary anchor point on the edge of the port face for position 1 and drag the cursor along the edge to position 2 as shown in the figures below.

    The Integration Line 2 shifts from Integration Line 1 by a distance equal to that between Position 1 and Position 2.

    Note:

    Use the Measure Data dialog to set this distance.

    Duplicate Port Line dialog. Total Number field set to 2. Assign to existing modes option enabled.

  4. Enter the total number of lines, including the original and duplicates, to make in the Duplicate Port Line.

    If you type a value that is greater than the number of assigned modes, the extra duplicates will appear as gray integration lines until they are assigned to a mode.

  5. Optionally, select Assign to existing modes. The duplicates will be assigned to the modes defined for the port, beginning with the mode after the one with the line that was duplicated.
