Adding a curve to a 2D plot

You can add a curve to an existing plot to customize it.

If you create a global XY plot, which is a result calculated across the whole part, such as clamp force, all you need to do is display the result to view the curve. For mesh-dependent XY plots, such as pressure or temperature vs. time, you need to create a new result, and then add curves to the plot using the method described below.

1. Click (Results tab > Plots panel > New Plot > Plots).
2. Select the required plot from the Available results section.
3. Select the XY plot option in the Plot type section.
4. Click the Plot Properties tab and ensure that Overlay with mesh is selected.
5. Click OK. The Create New Plot dialog closes and the Entity IDs dialog is active and waiting for input from the model pane.
6. Click on the part in the model pane to add a new curve to the XY plot. You may add up to five new curves to the plot.

Note: Click Select to close the Entity IDs dialog in order to prevent accidentally selecting further entities to plot.
