Attributes can also be added as subnodes to a plot to modify the plot’s behavior — Deformation (
) attributes deform a plot (to illustrate, for example, structural deformation);
Color Expression (
) attributes modify the color of a plot; filtering to only include parts of the plot is available using the
Filter (
) attribute;
Selection (
) attributes limit the plot to a selected subset of the geometry; and
Export Expressions (
) attributes can add quantities to the data export for streamline, radiation pattern, and trajectories plots. A
Height Expression (
) can also be added to some 2D plots. You can also select appropriate color tables for the plots’ color expressions based on your audience and what you plan to do with the final analysis.
Under Results (
) in the
Model Builder, right-click the
Plot Group node and select an option from the context menu to plot the graphs listed in
Table 21-10. Each plot group can have several plots combined to create a meaningful representation of the data.
When the plot type is defined, click the Plot button (
), press F8, or right-click the node and select
Plot. The plot displays in the window selected from the
Plot window list. To plot results in another window, right-click the plot group node or the plot node and select a plot window from the
Plot In submenu.
For plots in plot groups, you can right-click the plot node and choose Copy Plot Data to Clipboard (
). The plot data is then directly available on the clipboard so that it can be pasted into a document or spreadsheet without the need to add an
Export>Data node.
