AM Plot Type: Plot Over Line (2D)
The Plot Over Line plot type is available with all simulation types (Steady-state, Transient, and Transient with heat source from Steady-state). For Steady-state simulations, it is also available with Heat Source Calibration, Batch, and Grid calculation types.
The Plot Over Line type is a 2D plot. On the Visualizations window it is available on the Plot Over Line tab and on the Configuration window on the tab of the same name.
Once the plot is performed, you can also switch between a plot and a Table View using the button available on the Visualizations window.
The coordinates for the Plot Over LineTransient with heat source from Steady-state and its Steady-state model are synchronized. This means that if you switch between these computational models, the Plot Over Line coordinates show the same result.
Example
This is an example from AM_01: Transient Simulation of a Single Track.
