Tips & Tricks

Apply user defined radiation efficiency

To enforce the radiation efficiency of a shell, you need to modify the coupling loss factor between the shell and connected cavity, or the radiation loss factor

How do I get the hybrid TL using scripting (Python)?

How do I get acceleration by scripting in VA One?

Acceleration is a quantity derived from velocity. Easiest is to loop over velocity data and calculate: a = i*ω*vel and ω = 2*pi*freq a) RMS_a: a = ω * vel b) PSD_a: a2/bandwidth c) PSD_g: (a/g)2/bandwidth where "bandwidth" can be retrieved by using: bandwidth = pi_fFreqDomainGetBandwidth(fdom, BandIndex)
