Post Pocessing Modal Analysis (Line graph question)?
Post Pocessing Modal Analysis (Line graph question)?
(OP)
Hello All
I've recently started using Mechanica (wildfire 4.0) for prelimanary analyses, instead of ANSYS. Just to verify results, I am running a modal analysis on a cylinder to get displacement distribution along the length of the cylinder.
I get results, and they match my calculations. Now I want to plot a displacement graph; Y-axis showing displacement, and X-axis showing length of cylinder. To get that, what I know, I need to define a line through or on the cylinder. I have tried making a sketch line, datum line, and even axis, through the center of cylinder, but Mechanica doesnt let me choose that line for graph. I guess because that line is not a part of cylinder, but an arbitrary sketch.
My question: Is there a way to do this? How can I get a line displacement plot along the length of cylinder?
Thanks!
Haris
