Automatic
Automatic
By default T/HIS will automatically create a curve group for each model that is read in and will add any curves read in from that model into the curve group.
This option can be used to create other "automatic" curve groups.
| Model ID | The default - one group is created for each model. |
| Entity Type |
This option will create one group for each Entity type (Modal, Node, Solid etc) that data is read from. If data is read from multiple models then a single group for each entity type will be created containing curves from multiple models. |
| Component Name |
This option will create one group for each component (Node X displacement, Contact X Force etc), that data is read from. If data is read from multiple models then a single group for each component will be created containing curves from multiple models. The component groups can be named using either the component name (Disp X, Vel X...) or the component name and the entity type (Disp X - Node, Vel X - Node) |
| Curve File Index | If curves are read in from curve files (.CUR or CSV) then this option will create one group for the 1st curves read form each file, a second group for the 2nd curve read from each file and so on. |
Multiple options can be selected at the same time.
| Update Groups | This option will create and update the contents of automatic curve groups if the options are changed. |
The following preference options can be used to change the default options, (see Format of the oa_pref File for more details).
