Add/Replace Simulations

File → Replace Simulations
Updates the data in the plots with that stored in simulation result files, without recreating the plots. Also lets you add data from other Simulations to your existing plots.
When you update your plots, Adams PostProcessor looks for simulation results in the original simulation Results file (for example, a Request file) from which you imported the current data. If the time and date stamp on the original file is more recent than the time and date stamp on the plot, Adams PostProcessor reloads the plot with the updated data.
If you use the Add Simulation option, a new legend, called the simulation legend, appears on the left side of the plot. The simulation legend identifies the source of the data grouped by color or line style. The original legend, called the curve legend, continues to show information about the original curves.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Add Simulation
Select to add new curves.
Replace Simulation
Select to update the curves already on the plot.
New Runs/
Last Runs
Enter the name of the simulation containing the simulation results to be replaced. By default, the results of the last simulation (Last_run) replaces any simulation results that the curves use.
If you selected Add Simulations, the following options are available:
Auto Color/
Auto Style/
Auto Weight
You can:
■Select Auto to allow Adams PostProcessor to automatically assign colors, styles, or weights to the curves.
■Clear the selection of Auto to use the pull-down menu to set the colors, styles, or weights. If you select No Change, Adams PostProcessor uses the current color of the curve representing the data to be added.
Update Pages
Select the pages containing the plots that you want to update. Enter a range of pages in the Start Page and End Page text boxes.
