T/HIS the D3PLOT <=> T/HIS Link

T/HIS the D3PLOT <=> T/HIS link

The T/HIS command starts T/HIS in background and establishes a link between the two codes, allowing D3PLOT to access and display "time-history" data, and to synchronise time-history display in T/HIS with the current state displayed in D3PLOT.

Linked T/HIS has the following attributes

• One or more fully functional T/HIS graphics windows running within the D3PLOT user interface.
• The two codes "talk" to one another and share information about time-history data.
• Time-history "timeline" plots can be synchronised to show the current state in D3PLOT
• Accessing a particular time in either code will cause the other to update to show the same time
• Plotable items in time-history plots are displayed in D3PLOT, and may be screen-picked for selection in T/HIS.

When the T/HIS link is active the user interface operates either in D3PLOT native mode (as in the rest of this manual), or T/HIS native mode. You need to be in the correct mode to access commands for the relevant program, and you swap between modes using the D3PLOT and T/HIS buttons on the top right.
