The Polycurve graphical user interface (Figure 2.13: The Ansys Polycurve GUI) is made up of six main components: the chart buttons, chart
window, curve buttons, curve list, curve settings, and output text window. These
components behave in the same manner as those in Polymat, as described in the previous
sections. Polycurve is essentially a limited version of Polymat, with an additional
Exit chart button (
) that can be used to close the application, as
well as an additional Help chart button
(
) that opens the Ansys Help to the section of the Polymat
User's Guide that describes how to define and plot curves (that is, Defining and Plotting Curves). Note that the Ansys Help provides access to
other Ansys documentation as well.
