Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Step Response Percent Overshoot = 5
- 2% Settling Time = 180
Expected Result:
- Phase Margin = 60.921177146633
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Phase Margin = 60.921177146633 degree.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
phase margin = 100.0 - 72.0 * exp(-0.125 * step response percent overshoot) - 0.003 * 2% settling timePhase Margin.
