measure_display create
Allows you to transfer the plot on the strip chart to full_plot creation of a measure_display for an existing measure.
A measure gauge particular quantities in your model during a simulation . For example, you can measure the force in a spring throughout a simulation or the angle between two points or axes. The measure once created can be displayed as a strip chart or can be transferred to full plot.
The measured quantity is displayed against TIME as default axis, or it can be displayed against any ‘independent_measure’ existing in the model.
Format:
measure_display create |
|---|
measure_name = | an existing measure |
mea_display = | a new mea_display |
independent_measure_name = | an existing measure |
Example:
measure_display create & |
|---|
mea_display = | .model_1.mdsp & |
measure_name = | .model_1.msr & |
independent_measure_name = | .model_1.mea_3 |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
measure_name | An Existing Measure | Specifies the name of an existing measure |
mea_display | A New Mea Display | Specifies a new name for the new measure display |
independent_measure_name | An Existing Measure | Specifies an existing as abscissa along which the new measure is displayed |
Extended Definition:
1. While creating a measure a strip chart of the measure can be displayed by clicking the toggle button to ‘create strip chart’. If a display of the measure at an later stage, it can be created using this command.
2. The command ‘measure_display create’ will create a display of an existing measure, the quantity variation being displayed along default axis as ‘TIME’, when ‘independent_measure_name’ is not specified. For example, the ‘ANGLE’ turned by a revolute joint with respect to ‘TIME’ will give the angular velocity measure of the joint.
3. If the quantity is to be displayed with respect to any parameter other than default ‘TIME’, e.g., the variation in ‘FORCE’ with respect to ‘ANGLE’ turned by crank, then two measured are first created for force and angle. Then the new measure is created for ‘measure_name’ FORCE and the ‘independent_measure_name’ as ANGLE. This will display the variation in force with respect to the angle.
