.. _auto_curves_rms:

*COMPUTE THE RMS FROM TWO OR MORE CURVES*
=========================================

Computes the Root Mean Square (RMS) curve from two or more input curves. Use this worker when you need a single RMS-averaged representation of a set of time-history or signal curves.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

Tagged: ``curve_math``, ``rms``, ``root_mean_square``, ``signal_averaging``, ``time_history``.

Inputs
------

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 20

   * - Label
     - ID
     - Type
     - Default
     - Required
     - Description
   * - Curve 1
     - curve1
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - Base curve (or collection of curves) over which the RMS is computed; accepts multiple curves via the multi-select vector input — at least one curve must be provided here.
   * - Curve 2
     - curve2
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - Optional secondary curve(s) to include in the RMS calculation; required only when the base curves in curve1 do not already contain all desired members of the set.

Outputs
