Evaluating Multiple Curves or Surfaces Separately
The Multiple Curve section is available in the Settings windows for Line Average, Line Integration, Line Maximum, Line Minimum, and Line Measurement nodes under Derived Values and Evaluation Group nodes, when a Cut Line, Cut Plane, or Layered Material dataset is selected in the Data section. Similarly, the Multiple Surfaces section is available in the Settings windows for Surface Average, Surface Integration, Surface Maximum, Surface Minimum, and Surface Measurement nodes under Derived Values and Evaluation Group nodes, when a Cut Plane, Layered Material or Shell dataset is selected in the Data section. The results are stored in a Table node and displayed in the Table window.
The Multiple Curve section is only shown when there are multiple parts to evaluate in the underlying dataset or if the settings in the selected Derived Values or Evaluation Group feature are such that there is a natural partition into parts. That is, when:
•
Any additional parallel lines are defined in the underlying Cut Line dataset.
•
Any additional parallel planes are defined in the underlying Cut Plane dataset.
•
Several through-thickness locations are defined in a Derived Values or Evaluation Group node with an underlying Shell dataset.
•
Several through-thickness locations are defined in a Derived Values or Evaluation Group node with an underlying Layered Material dataset.
Multiple Curves and Multiple Surfaces
Select the Evaluate each curve separately, Evaluate each surface separately, Evaluate each line separately, or Evaluate each plane separately checkbox to evaluate each curve, surface, line, or plane separately. The name of the checkbox varies depending on the underlying dataset.
