- Assembly
  Learn how to create, open, import and save models.
- Analysis
  Set up the simulation model, materials, domains and boundaries.
  - Analysis Manager
    An Analysis is a collection of model configuration, analysis loadcase and analysis set-up selections that completely specifies the assembly definition for a particular loadcase simulation event.
  - Batch Model Check Run
    Use the Check tool to reduce the amount of manual work involved in performing a normal modes run to check out multiple modules by batch processing.
  - Batch Model Reduction
    Use the Reduce tool to reduce the amount of manual work involved in generating CMS superelements or CDS superelements for multiple modules by batch processing.
  - Job Manager
    Use the Job Manager tool to interact with analysis jobs created through the NVH Director.
  - Tuning Set Manager
    Use the Tuning Set tool to create standard tuning sets that can be used in the Analysis Manager for automatically setting up quick modification runs in NVH analysis.
  - Response Point Manager
    Use the Response tool to create defined response points that will be automatically used in setting up output requests in NVH analysis.
  - Frequency Set Manager
    Use the Frequency tool to create standard analysis frequency sets that will be automatically used in setting up analysis frequencies in NVH analysis.
  - Create Defined Control Volumes
    Use the Control Volume tool to create defined control volumes that will be automatically used in setting up Transfer Path Analysis diagnostic output in NVH analysis.
  - Create Panel Sets
    Use the Panels tool to create panel sets by selecting nodes/elements and/or existing node/element sets in the model file in the prepare module mode. These panels are automatically used in setting up Panel Participation and ERP diagnostic output in NVH analysis.
- NVH Tools
- Prepare Module
  Create, organize and manage the CAE parts.
- Post-processing and Diagnostics
  Define radiation conditions and create emissivity models.
High Frequency NVH
High frequency NVH is an implementation of Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA), and is used to predict and analyze the vibration and acoustic response of complex dynamic systems.
Squeak and Rattle
Create and evaluate evaluation lines and optimize interfaces to eliminate squeak and rattle issues.

Create Panel Sets

Use the Panels tool to create panel sets by selecting nodes/elements and/or existing node/element sets in the model file in the prepare module mode. These panels are automatically used in setting up Panel Participation and ERP diagnostic output in NVH analysis.

From the Analyse ribbon, click the Panels tool.

Figure 1.

To add a panel set, the module enters into prepare mode.

A guide bar opens.
Select grids, elements or sets of grids/elements by graphical selecting them from the model or using the advanced selection menu options.
Click the satellite icon that appears when you hover over the Panels tool to review panel sets in the Panel Sets browser.
You can also rename the panel sets and set the type for panel participation (PFP) and ERP using the checkbox options available for each panel set.
