MTS Multipurpose Simulated - Manual (Page 41)

The variable definitions and mapping are transferred to your new test and can be modified to meet your
requirements. Your original test is protected from any new values, variables, and calculations you make
in your analysis. The test data does not change. Analysis data and calculation changes do not modify the
test run data in any way
With the variables defined, mapped, or calculated, you can begin reviewing and analyzing the data through
the various charts and tables.
5.2.5.2.0 CTOD Analysis View
The template is pre-configured with a data view that conforms to the analysis portion of the ASTM standard.
The data view contains the following tables and charts.
Analysis Inputs Table
The Analysis Inputs table contains the parameters used for the analysis. You can make the corrections
indicated in the message log by adding or changing the input values. If the variable is an array, the entry is
added to the expansion table. Click the + at the left of the row to see a table of entries. Click another row to
activate the Refresh All Analysis Views button in the toolbar at the top of the window. When you click that
button, the application recalculates the analysis. You can change the calculation method. After you refresh
the values, the ones you modified have check marks in the Modified column. The original test data is not lost
and does not change.
You can add and change values by typing in the table cell. Click another row to activate the Refresh All
Analysis Views button and click the button. The Modified column becomes filled with a check mark in rows
where you specify the value.
Test Summary Table
The Test Summary table provides the final values of the variables defined in the Variable Editor. You can
change one or more values in this table and rerun the calculations in the same way described for the Analysis
Inputs table. After you refresh the values, the ones you modified have check marks in the Modified column.
The original test data is not lost and does not change.
Validation Results Table
The Validitation Results table includes the Display Name, Value, Modified Indicator, Original Value, and
Calculation. The Display Name includes the validity criteria. The Value and Original Value columns contain
indicators that are Yes or No values. The validity of the test results can change because of changes in test
values.
Pop-Ins CTOD Table
The Pop-Ins CTOD table provides data that corresponds to the pop-ins that are marked in the Pop-Ins Plot.
The table includes:
• F(n)
• Pop-In(n)
• Vg(n)
• CTODc(n)
• CTODu(n)
• ap(n)
