Plot Type: Flexible Mode and Grouped Mode

The Plot Renderer is a dynamic activity node with options such as being able to choose from a variety of Plot types based on the Calculator and Calculation Type selected.

Calculation Types in Graphical Mode

See Plot Types detailing availability By Calculator, By Plot Type, or By Calculation Type.

Flexible Mode

Use Flexible Mode to individually add and configure axes quantities and change the units or other associated settings one at a time.

Grouped Mode

Use Grouped Mode to add and configure groups of axis quantities at the same time and of the same type. For example, change units or settings in groups with similar settings like temperature units or axis types.

Switching Between Modes

If you have a license for the Steel Model Library, you can try yourself to switch between Flexible Mode and Group Mode and then change the settings to how you want it using the Steels example PM_Fe_02: Fe-Mn Martensite Morphologies.

Flexible vs Group Plot Mode Example

Comparing Flexible Mode (left) to Grouped Mode (right) on a Plot Renderer as a successor to a Property Model Calculator. The advantage of Grouped Mode is that you can, for example, configure or edit settings in one place, making it easier to manage and work with the plot quantities.
