Creating and editing post-processing scenarios

Creating a post-processing scenario

After you load a data source in the Scenario Based Data-Visualization Navigator, the post-processing scenarios that you can use to visualize that type of data source appear in the Scenarios subpanel. For example,the following scenarios appear for a Motion results file.

Select the post-processing scenario to display it in the graphics window using its default visualization, such as an XY or contour plot.

Editing a post-processing scenario

When you display a post-processing scenario, such as Motion Results, the Scenario Based Data-Visualization Navigator provides you with three categories of values you can set for the scenario. It also provides an Edit Mode column that displays which values you can edit.

• DefinitionProvides options for displaying and manipulating the data, including the type of analysis you want to perform on the data source and the type of visualization you want to use to view the scenario. Depending on the selected scenario, additional groups of options appear that let you select data sources and data types. You can use these options, for example, to specify fluid pressure, speed of sound, mesh source, response functions, contribution functions, and so on.

• ParametersDepending on the selected scenario, parameters appear to let you set different criteria for viewing your results. For example, you can create what-if scenarios in the Transmission Loss (TL) scenario by manipulating speed of sound and microphone distance. You can also use these parameters as a diagnostic tool. For example, in the Panel Contribution scenario you can find problematic panels by defining the frequency of interest and viewing the panels that contribute the greatest to the response in that frequency range.Note: No parameters are available for the Contour Plot and Function Plot scenarios. For Contour Plot scenarios, you set up the contour plots just like you do post views. For Function Plot scenarios, you set up the graphs using the XY Function Navigator.

• SelectionProvides variables you can use to focus on specific data in the data source when plotting the scenarios. The availability of these variables depends on the selected scenario, analysis type, and data definition.

In addition, you can also edit scenarios based on their current visualization:

• For scenarios displayed as XY plots, you can change the plotting parameters, such as change the axis, using the XY Function Navigator. For more information about editing scenarios, see Editing graphs created from post-processing scenarios.

• For scenarios displayed as contour plots, you can set them up just as you do post views in post-processing. For more information, see Displaying results in post views.

Options that you change appear in bold to indicate they do not yet appear in the graphics window.
