Open a Graph Window

If you want your calculated results to be represented graphically, there you have two options to call up different Graph Windows.

The results might be drawn in a

which shows the Stress and the Distance in X, Y or Z direction in suitable SI units (e.g. GPa and m m) in a two dimensional diagram

in which the Load and the Depth in suitable SI units (e.g. mN and m m) is represented

which shows a two dimensional diagram and describes the stress and deformation as a map ("map of the stress displacement mountain")

which shows the "real stress displacement mountain"

where you can open several Line Graphs to compare results

There are two possibilities to open the above described windows:

  1. Move the mouse to the "Graph" button on the menu rail and open the scroll by clicking the left mouse button once
  2. Five options are given. Choose the window square you wish to open by clicking the left mouse button once

    The new Graph Window appears at the centre of the Main Window

  3. Move the mouse to the eleventh to fifteenth symbol (depending on the kind of graph you would like to draw) shown on the small symbol rail right under the menu rail

By clicking the left mouse button once the new Graph Window appears at the centre of the Main Window

If the Prompt Calculation Button on the symbol rail ("Prompt Calc.") has got a tick, the result is calculated and shown immediately when the window appears. Otherwise you need to click the glowing light bulb which is located at the bottom right of each Graph Window for starting the calculation.

You can open two Graph Windows of each type at the same time. This might be useful for comparisons of different calculations. At first, the second window will appear in front of the first one but of course you are able to change it easily by using the options given in the "Windows" scroll on the menu rail.

In addition to that you can arrange all open windows next to each other or on top of each other in different ways (arrange windows).
