Create an orbit plot

Set up a post view of displacement results in complex format using the contour plot color display. Typically, these are displacements from a rotor dynamics analysis.
In the Post Processing Navigator, right-click the post view and choose New Graph .
From the Type list, select Orbit Plot.
In the Define Axes group, specify the direction vectors that define the X Axis (ordinate) and Y Axis (abscissa) for the graph. These should be the two axes orthogonal to the axis of rotation.
Select one or more nodes or points to graph. In the Selection group, from the Method list:Choose Pick from Model. From the Pick list, choose a selection method, and select entities in the graphics region.Choose By Entity ID. Type labels in the Entity Label box, and click for each label you enter.Choose Entities in Group. From the Group list, select a predefined group and click .Choose Inferred Point. Interactively select points on feature edges or faces.
Click OK.
If the Viewport dialog bar appears:To display the graph in the Graphics region, click Select Viewport by Cursor and click a viewport.To display the graph in a separate graph window, click Create New Window .
