measure_display save_curve

Allows to save the curve on the measure_display.
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.

Extended Definition:

The curve on strip chart is replaced by a new curve, whenever a new simulation is carried out. In case it is necessary to retain the current curve from current simulation to compare with a new curve displayed after a new simulation, the current curve can be saved. Thus, the new curve will be superimposed on the current one facilitating comparison of the curves.
