Plot Graphs

The last step in this tutorial is to learn to plot the data collected during your simulation using a Line graph.

To plot a Line graph:
  1. Click the icon on the toolbar and select the Line tab.
  2. Configure the following settings to plot the total force on the CompressionPlate over time:


    Note: This data can be exported to plot Stress vs. Strain for the compression sample.
    • The stress is the total force/sample area, where the area can be calculated from the original particle factory cylinder (40 mm radius).
    • The strain is the extension of the sample/length.
    • The length is the original length of the cylinder (100 mm), and the extension is the compression plate speed (0.005 m/s) multiplied by the Time value.
