D3PLOT 22.1

Data vs Time Generating Data vs Time

This is the simplest form of XY plotting:

You select a list of items (here shells have been chosen)
You select a data component (here X Direct Stress)
Optionally select a shell surface using the left hand integration point drop down menu
Optionally select shell on plan integration point(s) / solid integration point(s) using the right hand integration point drop down menu
Optionally select a frame of reference

Apply will then extract and plot the data.

For each item chosen, here shells, a curve will be generated of

X axis: Time
Y axis: Selected data component

-> Plot	Toggles display to the graphical XY plotting tool
-> File	Toggles output to a curve file, and you can define the filename.
Select states	Allows you to define different states for output
Done	Returns to the main XY plotting menu

Here is the output generated by the panel above:
