Chapter 9: plot/

plot/ansys-sound-analysis/

Enter the Ansys sound analysis menu.

plot/ansys-sound-analysis/print-indicators: Read in a pressure signal or spectrum file, then optionally read in a frequency response function (FRF) or transfer function file, before printing the acoustics indicators.
plot/ansys-sound-analysis/write-files: Read in a pressure signal or spectrum file, then optionally read in a frequency response function (FRF) or transfer function file, before writing a WAV, output pressure, and/or acoustic indicators file.

plot/change-fft-ref-pressure

Changes reference acoustic pressure.

plot/circum-avg-axial

Computes iso-axial band surfaces and plots data vs. axial coordinate on them.

plot/circum-avg-radial

Computes iso-radial band surfaces and plots data vs. radius on them.

plot/cumulative-plot/

Plot the development of force, force coefficient, moment, or moment coefficient across the specified wall zones.

plot/cumulative-plot/add: Create a new cumulative plot.
plot/cumulative-plot/delete: Delete an existing cumulative plot object.
plot/cumulative-plot/edit: Edit an existing cumulative plot object.
plot/cumulative-plot/list: Print the names of the existing cumulative plot objects to the console.
plot/cumulative-plot/list-properties: Print the properties of the specified cumulative plot object to the console.
plot/cumulative-plot/plot: Plot a cumulative plot in the graphics window.
plot/cumulative-plot/print: Print the value of a cumulative plot to the console.
plot/cumulative-plot/write: Write a cumulative plot to a file.

plot/datasources/

Enters the menu for creating and modifying plots containing multiple data sources.

plot/datasources/add-report-plot: Specify an existing report plot to include in this plot.
plot/datasources/add-xy-plot: Specify an existing XY plot to include in this plot.
plot/datasources/list-curve-information: Prints the names of the variables selected for plotting.
plot/datasources/list-data-sources: Prints the names of the selected/loaded data sources including the files and in-session plot objects.
plot/datasources/list-legend-names: Prints the names of the legends to the console.
plot/datasources/load-file: Specify a file to load for plotting. The file must be located in the working directory.
plot/datasources/plot: Plots the selected data in the active graphics window.
plot/datasources/properties: Prints the properties of whichever plot or file included in the multiple data sources plot that you specify.
plot/datasources/remove-data-source: Removes whichever data source (plot or file) you specify.
plot/datasources/rename-legend: Allows you to rename legend entries. Note that you must re-plot to see the legend name change.

plot/display-profile-data

Plots profile data.

plot/fft

Plots fast Fourier transform (FFT) of file data. If you respond yes to Acoustic Analysis?, then additional Y axis functions are made available.

plot/file

Plots data from an external file.

plot/file-list

Plots data from multiple external files.

plot/file-set/

Sets file plot parameters.

plot/file-set/auto-scale?: Sets the range for the and axes. If auto-scaling is not activated for a particular axis, you are prompted for the minimum and maximum data values.
plot/file-set/background-color: Sets the color of the field within the abscissa and ordinate axes.
plot/file-set/key: Enables/disables display of curve key and sets its window title.
plot/file-set/file-lines: Sets parameters for plot lines.
plot/file-set/file-markers: Sets parameters for data markers.
plot/file-set/labels: Sets labels for plot axes.
plot/file-set/lines: Sets parameters for plot lines.
plot/file-set/log?: Uses log scales for one or both axes.
plot/file-set/markers: Sets parameters for data markers.
plot/file-set/numbers: Sets number formats for axes.
plot/file-set/plot-to-file: Specifies a file in which to write XY plot data.
plot/file-set/rules: Sets parameters for display of major and minor rules.
plot/file-set/windows/: XY plot window options. For a description of the items in this menu, see display/set/windows/xy.

plot/flamelet-curves/

Enters the flamelet curves menu.

plot/flamelet-curves/plot-curves: Plots of a curve property.
plot/flamelet-curves/write-to-file?: Writes curve to a file instead of plot.

plot/histogram

Plots a histogram of the specified solution variable using the defined range and number of intervals.

plot/histogram-set/

Sets histogram plot parameters. Sub-menu items are the same as file-set/ above.

plot/label-alignment

Set the orientation of XY plot axis labels as either horizontal or axis-aligned.

plot/plot

Plots solution on surfaces.

plot/plot-direction

Sets plot direction for XY plot.

plot/residuals

Contains commands that allow you to select the variables for which you want to display XY plots of residual histories in the active graphics window.

plot/residuals-set/

Sets residual plot parameters. Sub-menu items are the same as file-set/ above.

plot/set-boundary-val-off

Disables the use of boundary face values when node values are disabled in solution XY plots. This option is disabled by default, that is, boundary face values are used when node values are disabled.

plot/solution

Plots solution on surfaces and/or zones. Zone and surface names can be indicated using a wildcard (*).

plot/solution-set/

Sets solution plot parameters. Sub-menu items are the same as file-set/ above.
