numeric_results create addition

Adds two components of a result set, either real or complex. The two components must:
Have the same number of elements. Otherwise, Adams View issues an error and does not execute the command.
Be from the same domain: either the time domain or the frequency domain. Otherwise, Adams View issues an error and does not execute the command.
If the two components are complex, the new component will be complex. A component containing the magnitude of the new component is also created and is named name_MAGNITUDE. For example, if the new component is named X, the magnitude component will be named X_MAGNITUDE.

Description
new_result_set_component_name
New Result set name
Identifies the new result set component.
result_set_component_names
Existing result set components
Identifies two result set components on which to perform the operation.
Units
no_units, calculate, length, angle, mass, density, time, area, volume, velocity, acceleration, angular_velocity, angular_acceleration, inertia, area_inertia, damping, stiffness, torsion_stiffness, torsion_damping, force, torque, pressure, force_time, torque_time
Specifies the type of units to be used for the new result set component. Once you set the unit type, Adams View can perform the proper unit conversion on the data.

Extended Definition:

1. 1. The hierarchy of a model's results is shown below with the components of a result set under the result set:
If you want to store the component:
In an existing result set, the name must include the result set. For example, assume you have a request file called SHIFT.REQ, and it contains the result set REQ1. If you want to store the new result set component in result set REQ1 with the component name NEW, enter:
.SHIFT.REQ1.NEW (it's not necessary to include .SHIFT., if SHIFT is the current analysis_name).
In a new results set, for example named REQ99 in the analysis run SHIFT, enter .SHIFT.REQ99.NEW. The number of components to be stored is inferred by the number of components named in this parameter. You can enter multiple names separated with commas (,).
The component name must be unique, even though it can be stored in an existing result set. A result set name can be any length and any combination of alphanumeric characters. The leading character must be a letter.
Result sets are associated with an analysis and can be identified as such. A result set associated with request 101 from an analysis named test is often referred to as .test.req101.
See a table below that illustrates the default names assigned to result sets and result set components read from request (.req) and results (.res) files.

2. If the value for the “units” parameter is calculate, Adams View tries to determine the units to use for this operation. For example, if velocities are ADDed (length/time), the calculated units for the new result set component are a velocity (length/time). If the derivative of a velocity is is taken, the calculated units are acceleration (length/time**2).
Adams View can only handle calculated units with a maximum exponent for the base units (force, length, mass, time) of plus or minus four. For example, if a result set component with the units (length/time**3) is multiplied with a result set component with the same units, the calculated units are (length**2/time**6). Because the exponent of time the is greater than four, Adams View uses no_units and issues a warning.
Values are: no_units, calculate, length, angle, mass, density, time, area, volume, velocity, acceleration, angular_velocity, angular_acceleration, inertia, area_inertia, damping, stiffness, torsion_stiffness, torsion_damping, force, torque, pressure, force_time, torque_time.
