X-Y Plots

You can create an X-Y Plot of your data before or after the data fitting process. Use the X-Y Plots feature to review your data, find specific data, and check for any points that do not appear to correspond to the remaining data. Use this feature to check whether your raw data provides a good match to the fitted data.

X-Y Plots can be generated from the following Input Data pages by clicking the Plot button (or the plot icon in the toolbar):

  • Specific Heat
  • Thermal Conductivity
  • Raw Viscosity
  • Raw PVT
  • Stress-Strain (Tension)
  • Stress-Strain (Compression)

Note: In the Specific Heat dialog you can find the Transition Temperature and Ejection Temperature. In the Raw PVT dialog, if the material is crystalline then you can use the X-Y Plot to establish the different PVT transitions.

Following the Data Fitting process, you can also check the Cross-WLF Viscosity Model, the 2-Domain Tait PVT Model, and the Ramberg_Osgood model pages. Subsequently, you can check how closely the model fits the raw data that you submitted. Also, you can go back to the raw data and eliminate points that unbalance the fit.

Creating an X-Y plot

You can check your data with an X-Y Plot before or after submitting your material file for Data Fitting.

  1. Ensure you have completed all necessary text boxes for the dialog
  2. Click the Plot Button (or the plot icon in the toolbar)
  3. A graph will appear showing the relevant criteria depending on the dialog on which you created the X-Y Plot

Note: To return to the tabular data, click the toolbar plot icon again.
