Displaying profiled intermediate results as an XY plot

Profiled intermediate results allow you to view a variable, for example temperature or velocity, across the cavity thickness at selected locations in the part and at various times from the start of injection.

By default, profiled intermediate results are only displayed as a shaded plot, so if you wish to view them as an XY plot you need to create them manually.

Note: The number of intermediate results sets to be written during filling and packing can be set in the advanced options of the Fill+Pack analysis settings.

1. Right-click the Fill+Pack result folder in the Study Tasks pane and select New Plot.
2. In the Available results list, select a result type for which profiled intermediate results exist (for example; temperature, velocity) and select XY Plot from the Plot Type options.
3. In the Plot Properties tab, select the XY Plot Properties (1) tab.
4. Select Normalized thickness from the Independent Variable drop-drown list.
5. Select the Time from start of injection at which you want to examine the profile data.
6. Click OK to create the new plot.
7. Click on the required locations in the part to display a 2D graph of the profiled result at each respective location.
8. To view profiled intermediate result at a different time during injection, either create a new plot using the procedure described above, or edit the properties of the plot you have created by right-clicking the plot name and selecting Properties.
