*PLOT |
|
To request the creation of a 2D Plot or a 3D Plot which graphically presents the variation of a set of summary postprocessing results as a function of user specified values. For example, you can plot the maximum effective tension as a function of both wave period and incident wave heading in a 3-dimensional space.
Refer to Summary Collation Plots for further information on this feature.
A single line defining the following parameters.
TITLE=Output Title, PRIMARY AXIS=Primary Axis, [SECONDARY AXIS=Secondary Axis], [STATISTIC=Statistic], [PLOT TITLE=Plot Title]
This line can be repeated as often as necessary to request additional plots.
The significance of each parameter is as follows.
•Output Title specifies the title of the Summary Postprocessing result to be plotted on the vertical axis.
•Primary Axis defines the primary horizontal axis along which the set of Summary Postprocessing results will be plotted.
•Secondary Axis defines the secondary horizontal axis along which the set of Summary Postprocessing results will be plotted in 3D. This entry is optional. A 2D Plot will be created if this entry is omitted.
•Statistic refers to the required statistical measurement of the Summary Postprocessing output. The options are MAX (default), MIN, MEAN, RANGE or DEVIATION.
•Plot Title refers to the plot title. This entry is optional and defaults to Output Title if omitted.

Description |
Output Title: |
The name of the Summary Postprocessing output title to be plotted on the vertical axis. Any variable name referenced here must have been explicitly requested for inclusion in summary postprocessing, via the TITLE entry under any of the $SUMMARY POSTPROCESSING keywords. See Note (a). |
Primary Axis: |
The name of the primary horizontal axis along which the collated data is to be plotted. Any axis referenced here must have been explicitly defined via the *COLLATE PLOT AXES keyword under the $SUMMARY POSTPROCESSING section. |
Secondary Axis: |
The name of the secondary horizontal axis along which the collated data is to be plotted in 3D. Any axis referenced here must have been explicitly defined via the *COLLATE PLOT AXES keyword under the $SUMMARY POSTPROCESSING section. This entry is optional, and a 2D Plot will be created if this entry is omitted. |
Statistic: |
The required statistical measurement of the Summary Postprocessing output. The options are Maximum (default), Minimum, Mean, Range or Deviation. |
Plot Title: |
A descriptive title to be displayed on the plot. This entry is optional and defaults to Output Title if omitted. |
(a)In cases where the *STANDARD OUTPUT keyword has been used to request summary postprocessing output, then the name of the output variables are automatically populated by Flexcom. If you are unsure about their exact titles, they may be examined in the Summary Output File. However, they are always of the form...
•Effective Tension (Set Name)
•Resultant Moment (Set Name)
•Von Mises Stress (Set Name)
