*COLLATE PLOT AXES |
|
To define plot axes and their respective values which uniquely identify this Summary Postprocessing result within a matrix of Summary Postprocessing results for the purposes of generating plots of collated data. Each axis/value pair is defined in terms of a descriptive name and an associated value. If the same axis name is used in other Summary Postprocessing results, and assigned different values, it will be possible to plot the variation of any requested Summary Postprocessing output along the defined axis during the Summary Collation phase. For example, you can plot maximum effective tension as a function of both wave period and incident wave heading in a 3-dimensional space. Any plot axis defined using this keyword may subsequently be referenced by the *PLOT keyword (under the $SUMMARY COLLATE section).
Refer to Summary Collation Plots for further information on this feature.
A single line defining the identifier name and its numeric value. This line can be repeated as often as necessary:
Plot Axis Name, Value
Input: |
Description |
Plot Axis Name: |
The name of the plot axis whose values uniquely identifies these summary postprocessing results. |
Value: |
The value associated with this plot axis. ‘Value’ will be interpreted as a real number so the input should not contain any character expressions. |
(a)When defining a plot axis it is important to define meaningful names. For example, “Wave Period” or “Wave Heading” clearly indicate meaning. Any named defined here may be referenced subsequently when creating Summary Collation Plots. The Summary Postprocessing result of interest may then be plotted at the horizontal location as defined by the user specified plot axis value.
(b)If a plot axis name contains spaces, then quotation marks must be used to denote the bounds of the name e.g. “Wave Period”, ‘Wave Heading’.
