CURVE INFORMATION

Pressing the right mouse button while in the graphics window will display a popup menu listing the ID, label and the data source of the nearest curve.

When data is read from either one of the Ansys LS-DYNA output files T/HIS will store the ID and type of the entity that the data applies to. If the curve label is modified this data will remain unchanged so that the curve source can still be identified.

If a curve has been read in from another source then T/HIS will report the data source as being UNKNOWN.

If a curve is created from another curve using one of the T/HIS curve operations then the data source for the new curve will be copied from the original curve. If the operation uses more than one curve as input then the data source information will only be copied to the new curve if all of the input curves had the same data source.

Edit Points... will open the Curve Editor for the selected curve, allowing points to be added, deleted or changed individually. If the curve is an equation curve (see Equation ), then there will also be an Edit Equation... option present, allowing the equation to be updated and overwrite the original curve.

The Colour, Line Width, Line Style and Symbol pop-up menus allow the user to change these options for the curve (as can be done from the Line Style menu).

The Freeze option allows a curve to be fixed as visible on the current graph. It will not be able to be blanked until it is unfrozen, in particular it won't be affected by the 'b' or 'r' shortcut keys. Curves can also be frozen and unfrozen in the Curve Manager or the Curve Table (see Adding / Removing Curves from graphs and Locking / Freezing for more details).
