Purpose and Methodology

The purpose of the POST PROCESSOR is to read and process data from the internal data structure of the DICTRA module in order to present the result of a simulation in either* GRAPHICAL (command PLOT_DIAGRAM) or* TABULAR FORM (command MAKE_EXPERIMENTAL_DATAFILE).

Before plotting/printing, you have to specify what variables should be plotted on the diagram axis or printed in the table columns. For this purpose there is a command SET_DIAGRAM_AXIS. After having SET both X- and Y-axis variables, you have to SET also plot condition and independent variable. It is also possible to specify a Z-axis. Its values appear as tick marks on the XY-curve.
