original_docstring: Defines the excitation direction for response spectrum and PSD
  
          APDL Command: SED
          analyses.
  
          Parameters
          ----------
          sedx, sedy, sedz
              Global Cartesian coordinates of a point that defines a line
              (through the origin) corresponding to the excitation direction.
              For example: 0.0, 1.0, 0.0 defines global Y as the spectrum
              direction.
  
          cname
              The component name corresponding to the group of excited nodes.
              Only applies to base excitation multi-point response spectrum
              analysis (SPOPT, MPRS) and power spectral density analysis (SPOPT,
              PSD). Defaults to no component.
  
          Notes
          -----
          In single-point response spectrum analysis (SPOPT,SPRS), the excitation
          direction without rocking (ROCK) is normalized to one so that the SEDX,
          SEDY, and SEDZ values do not scale the spectrum.  The excitation
          direction with rocking is not normalized. The SEDX, SEDY, and SEDZ
          values must be consistent with the OMX, OMY, and OMZ values on the ROCK
          command. The calculated direction then scales the spectrum. For more
          information, see Participation Factors and Mode Coefficients.
  
          In multi-point response spectrum analysis (SPOPT,MPRS) and power
          spectral density analysis (SPOPT,PSD), the excitation direction is
          normalized to one so that the SEDX, SEDY, and SEDZ values do not scale
          the spectrum.  The component name (Cname) is required. The constraints
          corresponding to the excitation direction are applied to the component
          nodes.
  
          This command is also valid in PREP7.
