XYDATA

Generate X-Y Plots at a Specified Grid Point or Element

Description: Requests the generation of results x-y plots at a specified grid point or element.

Format:

XYDATA, gid/eid, component/column, group, stype

Examples:

XYDATA, 10, 3, 1, GRID

XYDATA, 15, 22, 3, ELEM

Option	Definition	Type	Default
gid	Grid point identification number for stype equals GRID.	Integer > 0	Required
eid	Element identification number for stype equals ELEM.	Integer > 0	Required
component	Component number of global coordinate for stype equals GRID. (Up to six unique digits may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks.)	1 ≤ Integers ≤ 6	123456
column	Results column number for stype equals ELEM. See Remark 4.	Integer > 0	Required
group	Group identification number.	Integer > 0	0
stype	Output set identification type, one of the following character variables: GRID or ELEM.	Character	GRID

Remarks:

1. A separate plot is generated for each vector result requested in the Case Control.
2. XYDATA commands with the same group identification number will be plotted on the same x-y axes.
3. The XYPLOTCSVOUT directive can be used to generate an MS Excel Comma Separated Variable file containing the plot data in tabular form. See Section 2, Initialization, for more information on XYPLOTCSVOUT.
4. See Appendix A, Results Neutral File Formats, for result column number definition.
