Importing Simcenter Samcef XY results graphs
When you load or import Simcenter Samcef results, XY time history results of a structural nonlinear or a thermal heat transfer solved solution can also be automatically loaded.
In the Customer Defaults dialog box, you can use the Import XY Functions list to define how these time history graphs are imported:
Not Automatically Imported
The time history results are not imported.
As Graphs in Post Processing Navigator
The time history results are imported as graphs in the Post Processing Navigator (Graphs node).
As AFU in XY Function Navigator
The time history results are imported in an associated AFU in the XY Function Navigator.
For more information on the results import, see Importing results.
