2D Cross-Section Line Plots
The 2D line cross-section plot visualizes a quantity in one or several lines in time, along a parameter range, or for several eigenvalues.
Creating a 2D Cross-Section Plot Using a Cut Line dataset
1
Create a Cut Line 2D dataset.
-
-
Select the Additional parallel lines check box to visualize on a set of parallel lines. Enter the Distances from the line as space-separated values.
2
Add a 1D Plot Group (). In the Settings window, select Cut Line 2D as the Dataset.
3
Add a Line Graph and keep From parent to use the same dataset as the plot group to which it belongs. Settings under y-Axis Data and x-Axis Data determine the quantity on those axes.
4
Continue to define the Line Graph as needed.
5
Click the Plot button (), right-click the node, and select Plot, or press F8.
Creating Interactive 2D Cross-Section Line Plots
1
In the Model Builder, click a 2D Plot Group node to display the buttons available in the Plot toolbar.
2
On the Plot Group contextual toolbar, click the First Point for Cut Line button (). Click a starting point on the geometry. COMSOL Multiphysics chooses default coordinates as a vertical line intersecting the data in the middle.
3
Click the Second Point for Cut Line button (). Click an endpoint on the geometry.
A line connecting the two points is displayed in the Graphics window. The first time the cross-section toolbar buttons are clicked, a Cut Line 2D dataset and a 1D Plot Group with a Line Graph are added to the Model Builder.
