Manually import XY time history graphs from an AFU file (Simcenter Samcef)

When you solve a Simcenter Samcef nonlinear or thermal solution, Simcenter Samcef creates XY results graphs. However, when you import a Simcenter Samcef nonlinear or thermal solution, if you selected Not Automatically Imported from the Import XY Functions list in the Customer Defaults dialog box, the XY results graphs are not imported after the solve. However, you can still manually import them in a new AFU file.

1. Create a new AFU file.In the XY Function Navigator, right-click the associated AFU node or User AFU node and choose New.In the AFU File Selection dialog box, specify the path and file name to use for the AFU file.Click OK.The new AFU file appears in the list with the icon.

2. Import Simcenter Samcef data into an AFU file.In the XY Function Navigator, right-click the AFU file and choose Import. In the Import File dialog box, from the Import File Type list, select SAMCEF Result File (*.des).In the Source File field, click Browse and browse to the Samcef result file to import graphs from. Click OK to confirm your selection.Click OK to import the file.The new graphs appear in the list of function records for the AFU file into which you imported the file.
