Performing a calculation on existing results

You can perform a calculation on existing results to analyze between two results.

Mathematical functions are used to calculate the results.

1. Click (Results tab > Plots panel > Calculated).
2. In the New plot text box, enter a name for the plot you are about to create.
3. Click Browse next to the Result text box in the Data A area, and select the first result to be used. You can also select a particular time or thickness value from the drop-down list if they are available.
4. In the Function drop-down list above, select the mathematical function that you want to perform on the selected result.
5. In the Operator drop-down list, select the required mathematical operator in order to either; add result B to result A, subtract result B from result A, multiply result A by result B, divide result A by result B.
6. Perform steps 2-5 above for the second result in the Data B area.
   Note: The second data item can also be a constant value. Select (Constant) in the Function drop-down list and then specify the constant value in the text box that appears.
7. Click Apply, or OK to calculate and display the new plot. You will find the new plot listed in a User-Defined Plots folder at the bottom of the Study Tasks pane.
