You can
use
X-Y plots to visualize key results such as the evolution of the Clamp force as a function of
the cycle time, or to view pressure buildup at the injection point.
To open the X-Y Plot PropertyManager,
do one of the following:
- In the PlasticsManager tree, expand Results, and double-click X-Y
Plot.
- In the Plastics CommandManager, click X-Y Plot.
Available X-Y Plots
You can generate XY plots
at global reference points or at user-selected nodes. For example, with an XY plot you
can visualize pressure and temperature changes at user-selected nodes as a function of
time.
| Global
Results |
Plots XY curves of four key
results: Maximum Injection Pressure, Melt Front Flow Rate, Clamp
Force, and Part Mass. |
| Local
Results |
Plots XY curves of pressure,
temperature, viscosity, density, and curing at user-selected nodes.
This option is used along with Selection
List (for Local Results). |
| Local
Results - Cool Simulation |
Plots XY curves of temperature at
user-selected nodes. This option is used along with Selection List (for Local Results).
You can also select points inside the virtual mold to plot XY
curves. |
Selection List (for Local Results)
Use this feature to select nodes on the model to create an XY plot of these
results: pressure, temperature, viscosity, density, curing as a function of
time.
| Add to
List
|
Select a node on the model and
then click Add to List to
generate the XY plot. By adding nodes, the XY plot dynamically
updates with the selected nodes. |
| Delete
from List
|
Deletes nodes from the XY
plot. |
| Set
Reference Plane
|
This tool can facilitate the
selection of nodes. Select XY, YX, or
XZ for the orientation of
the reference plane, and then use the slider to adjust the location
of the reference plane. Click Add to
List to select nodes to plot the XY curves. |
Display Options
Use this option along with Local
Results.
You can animate the filling and cooling of the part, color-shaded with temperature or
pressure values, or you can plot the distribution of the selected parameter at a
specified time step.
Use Clipping Plane Mode or Isosurface
Mode for better visualization of analysis results.
