Mapdl.plzz(rotvel='', deltarotvel='', **kwargs)#

Plots the interference diagram from a cyclic modal analysis.

Mechanical APDL Command: PLZZ

Parameters:

rotvelstr

Rotational speed in revolutions per minute (RPM) used to define the speed line. If blank, use the rotational speed (from omega ) specified in the prestressing step of the linear perturbation analysis. If explicitly input as 0, or if the linear perturbation was not used, no speed lines are plotted.

deltarotvelstr

Adds speed lines about the RotVel speed line corresponding to RotVel ± DeltaRotVel. Only plotted if RotVel is known.

Notes

plzz plots the cyclic modal frequencies as points on a frequency vs. harmonic index (nodal diameter) graph. If rotational speed ( RotVel ) is provided, the speed line is also plotted, leading to the interference diagram (also known as the SAFE or ZZENF diagram). If DeltaRotVel is also provided, two additional speed lines are plotted, enveloping the safe speed line itself.
