Association Between Models in D3PLOT and T/HIS

Association between models in D3PLOT and T/HIS

When T/HIS is started it will scan for time-history information for all models currently open in D3PLOT, and will continue to maintain associativity between the two codes. For example model M2 in D3PLOT will also be model M2 in T/HIS.

As models are opened and closed in D3PLOT so T/HIS will also open and close them, maintaining parity of model numbering. Internal flagging within D3PLOT of items being available for time-history processing will also be maintained.

WARNING: Opening a model in linked T/HIS only, rather than via D3PLOT, breaks the associativity between the two codes .

It is not illegal to open a model directly in linked T/HIS, but it has side-effects:

• Because D3PLOT cannot "know" about such a model's attributes it cannot be processed in D3PLOT in any way
• To make this clear models opened in this way are given model numbers 101, 102, ... in T/HIS
