Create a 3D graph of structured 2D data

This procedure demonstrates how you can construct a 3D graph directly from the values at the structured 2D tabular data points that were imported with the Imported Data is in Structured Data Format check box selected in the Table Data Import dialog box.

1. In the Simulation Navigator, expand the Fields node.

2. Right-click the table field that you want to plot and choose Plot(XYZ).The Field XY Graph3D dialog box appears.

3. In the Table Field Options group, from the list, select Show Structured Data as Lattice.

4. In the Independent Variable 1 group, from the Variable list, select one of the independent variables against which to graph the dependent variable.For example, if the field defines pressure as a function of (X,Y) coordinates, you select either the X-coordinate or Y-coordinate. Because the independent domain consists of two independent variables, the variable that you do not select in this step automatically becomes the variable listed in the Independent Variable 2 group, in the Variable box.

5. In the Dependent Variable group, from the Variable list, select the dependent variable for which to create the graph.

6. Click OK.The Viewport dialog box appears.

7. Do one of the following:To create the graph in the graphics window, click in the graphics window.To create the graph in a new viewport, click .

8. (Optional) To format the graph, double-click objects that you want to edit. Examples of objects that you can edit include the title, axis labels, axis ranges, among others.

9. (Optional) To edit the graph style, colors that are used, and so on, double-click a curve or the surface.
