Plotting Auto Entities in HyperGraph

When plotting using the .abf file, the requests appear under the REQSUB type. The Bushing label (“AutoBush 0” in this example) is added to the request type (“Force-Bushing”,”Displacement Bushing”, etc.) and put in the Request Description to help you understand requests when plotting them. The Bushing label can be changed in the MotionView graphical user interface to provide a meaningful description of the bushing.

When plotting data using the .plt file the requests appear under the User Defined request type:
