xy_plots auto_plot system_data

Allows you to control the results set components that are used by the automatic plot generator to create plots.
Only results set components from results sets that have been read from results files can be specified. To plot data from request files you must use the OUTPUT_REQUESTS keyword instead.

Format:

 
xy_plots auto_plot system_data
analysis_name =
existing analysis
units_filter =
filter_units
object_names =
existing adams object
result_set_names =
existing result set
class_filter =
filter class
type_filter =
plot_filter_type

Example:

 
xy_plots auto_plot system_data &
analysis_name =
last_run &
units_filter =
angle &
class_filter =
data_element

Description:

 
Parameter
Value Type
Description
analysis_name
Existing Analysis
Specifies an existing analysis from which the plot generator uses results sets to generate plots.
units_filter
Filter_Units
Specifies the types of units (dimensions) for results set components that the plot generator uses to create plots.
object_names
Existing adams object
Specifies objects for which Adams writes results sets into the results file, and which the plot generator uses to create plots.
result_set_names
Existing result set
Specifies result sets to be plotted.
class_filter
Filter Class
Specifies the classes of objects for which Adams writes results sets into the results file, and which the plot generator uses to create plots.
type_filter
Plot_filter_type
Specifies the types of objects for which Adams writes results sets into the results file, and which the plot generator uses to create plots.

Extended Definition:

1. You can get a list of analysis by typing a "?" in response to a parameter that requires an analysis name be entered.
You must separate multiple analysis names by commas.
2. The values that the parameter “unit_filter” can take are listed below:
all - Plots all the results set components from all the results sets in the results file.
no_units - Refers to dimensionless quantities.
angle
force
length
velocity
acceleration
angular_velocity
angular_acceleration
torque
3. Not all the object types of a particular class have data written to the results file. For example, splines, a member of the data_element class, do not generate results sets in results files.
The values for class_filter can be:
reference_frame - Parts and floating markers
equation - Differential equations, linear state equations, general state equations, transfer function, single-input, single-output (tfsisos)
marker - Floating markers
constraint - Joints, joint primitives, couplers, gears, ucons, motions
higher_pair_contacts - Curve-curves and point-curves
force - Beams, bushings, fields, forces, genforces, gforces, nforces, sforces, spring-dampers, tires, vforces, vtorques
data_element - Pinputs, poutputs
all - All class types
