plotgraph

Overview

This utility is used to plot the 2D linear graph.

Syntax

simlab.plotgraph(xIvalue, xDvalue, yDvalueArr, x_axis_title, y_axis_title, curve_names, save_plot_path, Design_limit);

Use Case

  • It supports the following options to plot graph

    • A simple linear 2D graph

    • Multiple curve plot

    • Either capture plot image or plot on screen

  • User can extract the values from the results file or Input the values directly and plot the graph.

Utility Input/output

simlab.plotgraph( xIvalue, xDvalue, yDvalueArr, x_axis_title, y_axis_title, curve_names, save_plot_path, Design_limit);
Input

  • xIvalue - list of x axis values (Integer values)

  • xDvalue - list of x axis values (Decimal values)

  • yDvalueArr - list of multiple data curve values

  • x_axis_title - x axis title

  • y_axis_title - y axis title

  • curve_names - list of multiple curve name (if any)

  • save_plot_path - path to save graph image

  • Design_limit - Flag to set the last curve as design limit

Note:

  • X axis value either xIValue or xDvalue should given.

  • If save_plot_path is given it will save the plot as Image, if NULL then it will plot the graph on the screen.

  • Design_Limit is true, last curve data will be plotted as a dotted line in the curve.

Sample

Note: Sample Script

In the sample script example, it will get the maximum displacement value from each simulation in a load case and plot as a separate curve for each load case.
