TBLNO1

First input PSD table number associated with this spectrum.

TBLNO2

Second input PSD table number associated with this spectrum.

SV1, SV2, SV3, . . . , SV7

PSD quadspectral values corresponding to the frequency points [PSDFRQ].

Notes

Defines PSD quadspectral values to be associated with the previously defined frequency points. Repeat QDVAL command with the same table number for additional points. Unlike autospectra [PSDVAL], the quadspectra can be positive or negative. The quadspectral curve segment where there is a sign change is interpolated linearly (the rest of the curve segments use log-log interpolation). For better accuracy, choose as small a curve segment as possible wherever a sign change occurs.

Two table numbers are required since values are off-diagonal terms. This command is valid for SPOPT,PSD only.

This command is also valid in PREP7.
