Random vibration, what is going on behind the scenes?

Random vibration, what is going on behind the scenes?

Random vibration, what is going on behind the scenes?

(OP)
I have an input PSD in a logarithmic scale that I am inputing the break points of into a custom PSD curve as a uniform base excitation.  The units are g^2/Hz.  I have these vibration schedules for transverse, longitudinal, and vertical vibrations.  When I solve and display the Stesss_RMS plot, is the solver calculating the G_rms for the entire spectrum (that is, calculating the area under the curve and taking the suqare root for each vibration direction) and simulaing my system at these accelerations?  All I have done is input the break points from the log log scale into the solidworks custom curve, this does not seem quite right, will I need to make adjustments to this data?  Thanks for the help, I have been doing research but random vibration analysis is new to me.

Look in the Cosmos/M documentation. You may find what you want there.
