Editing graphs created from post-processing scenarios

You can edit graphs you create from post-processing scenarios using the standard functionality for graphs in Functions and Graphing. For example, you can change the title and the legend. For more information, see Simcenter 3D Functions and Graphing.

In addition to the standard functionality, you can also edit the labels of color bar plots and set signal processing and frequency spectrum attributes.

Editing color bar labels

For 2D function plots displayed as a color bar, you can use the Label Settings right-click menu in Functions and Graphing to manipulate the labels displayed on the Z-axis. For example, you can remove information if it does not apply, such as DOF. The information that appears on the Label Settings right-click menu depends on the type of scenario displayed.

From an axis label with all elements		To an axis label with only the acoustic node

You can also use the Advanced command to add your own text to the label to provide greater meaning. The changes only apply while you display a scenario. You can also save the label settings in a layout state.

For more information about customizing color bars, see Edit the labels of color bars created from post-processing scenarios.

Setting signal processing and frequency spectrum attributes

In post-processing scenarios, signal processing attributes are handled per graph instead of per curve. For example, changing the weighting to A-weighted applies A-weighting to all plots in the graph. The right-click menus for changing scaling, correction, and weighting are available from the Y-axis, for example, Spectrum Scaling and Weighting.

With Spectrum Scaling, you can apply spectrum scaling to plots of pressure or acoustic power in XY plotting. Curves can be plotted in Peak or RMS format.

With Weighting, you apply a filter to an acoustic response and the selected acoustic weighting is applied to all the curves in the XY graph. Various weighting factors can be applied to acoustic responses. For example, A-weighting is a frequency dependent curve, which is applied to sound pressure to simulate the perception of human hearing.

If two Y-axes exist, for example Velocity and Pressure, you can change the representations for each axis. Selecting multiple axes lets you change the representations on all selected axes at the same time.
