Automatically Re-Generating Plots
You can plot the results of any Simulation to interpret the performance of your design. You can plot the results for any Measures or Requests that you defined, as well as results that Adams automatically generates, including clearance studies. You can even plot test data that you imported into Adams PostProcessor and perform post-processing on the plot curves.
You use the Dashboard in plotting mode to select simulation results to plot. After you select simulation results to plot, you can format the resulting plots, including adding the necessary axes, labels identifying the units of measurement, title for the plot, legends describing the data in the plots, and more. You can also build three-dimensional plots using Adams Vibration. The three-dimensional plots display a collection of curves. Learn more about generating data for three-dimensional plots in the Adams Vibration online help.
