PRAP Analysis Modules

A variety of plug-in analysis modules are available for PRAP. The analysis performed by these modules varies from analysing different geometrical modes of resonance to analysing the modes of different crystal symmetries.

The Basic PRAP Package includes 7 standard 1-dimensional resonance modes of the 6mm symmetry (C_¥). All optional plug-in analysis modules require the Basic Package. The following table summarises the analysis modules available with PRAP. If you are interested in a resonance mode or crystal symmetry not listed, please let us know. Work is on-going with new crystal symmetries and resonance mode geometries.
