Plot Renderer Settings (Moving Phase Boundary)

After you have completed the settings for the System Definer and Diffusion Calculator you define the plot parameters.

1. In the Project window, click the Plot Renderer node.
   
2. In the Axes section, choose Time for X and select Hours.
3. Choose Position of interface for Y. After you click Perform, the Interface list is populated.
4. Right-click the Plot Renderer and rename it to Position of interface vs time.
5. Click Perform. If you have entered the same settings the plot shows the ferrite/austenite phase interface position as a function of time. The plot has the parabolic appearance characteristic for many types of diffusion simulations.

   Plot result from the example showing the phase interface position as a function of time.

   

Add a Second Plot

1. Right-click the Diffusion Calculator node. Remember it is renamed to Diffusion two regions Ferrite and Austenite.
2. From the Create New Successor list, click Plot Renderer.
3. In the new Plot Renderer node Configuration window Axes section, for X, change the Distance units to Micrometer.
4. Click Show more, then click to clear the Automatic scaling checkbox.
5. In the Limits fields, keep 0.0 as the lower limit, enter 2000 for the upper limit and 200 for step.
6. For Y, keep the default Composition and choose C from the list.
7. Choose Hours as the Time unit and enter 0.0 1.0E-4 30.0 in the field.

   

8. Right-click Plot Renderer and rename it to Composition profile C.
9. Click Perform If you have entered the same settings the plot shows the composition profile of C.
