Plotting a result through the part thickness (3D models)

Several results created from a 3D analysis can be displayed using the Probe XY plot plot type.

A Probe XY plot displays the result on the Y axis and distance through the part on the X axis.

  1. Click New Plot (Results tab > Plots panel > New Plot > Plots).
  2. Select the desired result in the Available results list.
  3. Select Probe XY plot in the Plot type area.
  4. Select the Plot Properties tab and ensure that Overlay with mesh is selected.
  5. Click OK to create the new plot. You will see an XY graph with the part visible behind it.
  6. Click on a location on the surface of the part. Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight will automatically locate the opposite side of the part, trace a path from the selected location to the opposite side, and then plot the result against distance along this path.
  7. Repeat the previous step to create more curves on the XY graph.
Note: If you activate a different tool while working with the probe XY plot, you need to reselect Add XY Curve (Results tab > Plots panel > Add XY Curve) to create new curves.
