Introduction

This use case shows a user how to plot cell and point data. Plotting can be along a line that cuts through your data, or a location with respect to time.

Plot along a line

  • Open can.exo. Turn on all data. Apply.
  • Drag the can around with the left mouse button until you can see the can.
  • Filter→Data Analysis→Plot Over Line. Drag the top of the line to intersect the top of the can. Note that hitting the p key will also place the line on the surface of your object. You can also use the 1 and 2 keys to set the beginning and end of the line. Apply.
  • Properties tab. Unselect all variables except DISPL:Magnitude.
  • Lower on the Properties tab, find Left Axis Use Custom Range. Select this, and enter 0.0 and 20.0.
  • Find Bottom Axis Use Custom Range. Select this, and enter 0.0 and 20.0.
  • Play the animation forward, and notice what happens to the plot.
  • You can also add plot labels and axis labels on the properties tab.

Plot point over time

  • Edit → Reset Session.
  • Open can.exo. Turn on all data. Apply.
  • Drag the can around with the left mouse button until you can see the can.
  • We want to plot a point over time. First, we need to select a point.
  • Click on Select Points On icon. Then, click on a point on the can.
  • Filters→Data Analysis→Plot Point Over Time. Apply.
  • Display tab, unselect everything other than DISPL (Magnitude)
  • You now have a plot of the displacement. at your point.
  • Extra Credit – Using Select Cells On icon, and the Plot Cell Over Time, plot EQPS over time.


Beginning plotting 2.png

Plot two variables at same time

  • Follow the steps for Plot Point over time, as described above.
  • On the Properties tab, turn off DISPL (Magnitude) and turn on variables VEL (Magnitude) and ACCL (Magnitude).
  • Select the line that says ACCL (Magnitude), causing this row to turn gray.
  • At the bottom of the Display tab, change Chart Axes to Bottom-Right.
  • Note below that the ACCL (Magnitude) color has been changed to blue.

Plot multiple points (statistics plot version)

  • Edit → Reset Session.
  • Open can.exo. Turn on all data. Apply.
  • Drag the can around with the left mouse button until you can see the can.
  • We want to plot numerous points over time. First, we need to select the points.
  • Click on Select Points On icon. Then, rubber band select a dozen points.
  • Filters→Data Analysis→Plot Selection Over Time. Apply.
  • On the Properties tab, turn off all varialbes, and then turn on variables VEL (Magnitude) and ACCL (Magnitude).
  • Select the line that says ACCL (Magnitude), causing this row to turn gray.
  • At the bottom of the Display tab, change Chart Axes to Bottom-Right.

Plot min, max and average for all points of a block over time

  • Edit → Reset Session.
  • Open can.exo. Turn on all data. Apply.
  • Drag the can around with the left mouse button until you can see the can.
  • We want to plot all of the can points over time. First, we need to select the points.
  • Click on Select Block icon. Select the can.
  • Filters→Data Analysis→Extract Selection. Apply.
  • We now have the can.
  • Find Data dialog. This can be found on the Edit menu.
  • Find Points from ExtractSelection#.
  • Next line, use ID and is >= and 0.
  • Run Selection Query/
  • Plot Selection Over Time. Apply.
  • In Series Paramaters, turn off everything except DISPL (Magnitude)
