CORA and ISO-18571
Use the HyperGraph 2D Curve Correlation dialog to find correlation metrics in the form of notes using different correlation algorithms. The CORA and ISO-18571 functions calculate the correlation metric between test and CAE data.
- CORA
- The Correlation Analysis (CORA) calculates the correlation metric between CAE and Test Data signals in the form of time history. Includes both corridor and cross correlation, which are calculated independently and then combined to give a comprehensive error. The error calculation can be biased toward either the measured time history (Test) or the computed (CAE) time history, with the former being the most common.
- CORA(CORRIDOR)
- The Corridor method (CR) calculates the correlation between two signals by corridor fitting. The error calculation can be biased toward either the measured time history (Test) or the computed (CAE) time history, with the former being the most common.
- CORA(CROSS CORRELATION)
- The cross correlation method (CRCR) calculates the correlation between two signals by calculating phase shift, size, and progression. The weighted sum of these three values gives the total cross correlation rating.
- ISO-18571
- The ISO metric combines different types of algorithms to a get reliable and robust assessment between CAE and Test Data signals in the form of time history. Includes corridor, phase, magnitude, and slope, which are calculated independently and then combined to give an overall ISO rating. The error calculation can be biased toward either the measured time history (Test) or the computed (CAE) time history, with the former being the most common.
