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:
- A separate plot is generated for each vector result requested in the Case Control.
- XYDATA commands with the same group identification number will be plotted on the same x-y axes.
- 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.
- See Appendix A, Results Neutral File Formats, for result column number definition.
