D3PLOT 22.1

Data vs Data Both X and Y Data Components Against Time

Data vs Data: Both X and Y data components against time

This is very similar to the Data vs Time panel above, except that you choose data components for both X and Y axes.

Each item (here shells) still forms a curve, but the data points are <X data> vs <Y data> at each selected state.

For example you might wish to plot the stress vs strain history for a set of elements, in which case you might choose:

  • X Axis: Strain
  • Y Axis: Von Mises stress

Here is an example of output from such a plot, showing Von Mises Strain (X axis) against Von Mises Stress (Yaxis).
This shows the classic stress vs strain curve for mild steel.
