# DOF Percentage Calculation (+2)
## DOF Percentage Calculation
For each mode, the DOF percentage indicates how much of the mode's energy is in each degree of freedom:
```
DOF_percentage = (|max_DOF_value|² / Σ|all_DOF_values|²) × 100
```
## Mode Selection Criteria
A mode is "selected" for a DOF when:
- `DOF_percentage > threshold_percentage`
This filtering helps identify:
- **Heave-dominated modes** (Z threshold)
- **Surge/sway modes** (X/Y threshold)
- **Roll/pitch/yaw modes** (Rotation thresholds)
## Relationship to VIV
Modal frequencies are critical for VIV assessment:
```python
# VIV lock-in check
from digitalmodel.subsea.viv_analysis.viv_analysis import VIVAnalysis
viv = VIVAnalysis()
# Get natural frequency from modal analysis
natural_freq = 1 / mode_period # Hz
