Convert a complex mode shape to a real mode shape

This function converts a complex mode shape to a real mode shape

You are now following this Submission

Obtained mode shapes from structural modal identification are in complex form. This function could be used to convert these complex mode shapes to real mode shapes.
Reference: Operational modal analysis of civil engineering structures pages 182 and 183.
Following commands could be used to run this code. Note that a complex mode shape is stored in the Example.mat file.
1) Load the example file:
load Example
2) Use the following command to convert the complex mode shape to real mode shape.
Real_Phi=ComplexModeToRealMode(Phi)
