Plot Graphs

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

To plot various types of graphs:
Plot a linear graph of the mass flow rate of all particles changing over time on the bottom conveyor.
  1. Click the icon on the toolbar.
    Note: If you cannot see this icon on your toolbar, expand the Standard toolbar.
  2. Select the Histogram tab and set the parameters as follows:


    1. In the Select Element subsection, set the Group to Particle, Type to OreParticle and Selection to All.
    2. In the X-Axis tab, set the Attribute to Diameter.
    3. In the Y-Axis tab, set the Primary Attribute to Number of Particles and Component to Total.
    4. In the Settings tab, select the Time Step at which you want to visualize the size distribution.
      The size distribution at the beginning (1s) and at the end of the simulation are shown in the following figures.
      Figure 1. Particle size distribution at the beginning of the simulation


      Figure 2. Particle size distribution at the end of the simulation


  3. Click Create Graph to plot the graph.
