Plot

Figure 1. NVH Plot Manager

Use the Plot Manager to plot SEAM results. You can plot model results versus a baseline model or overlay plots from different elements or connections within the same model. The plot controls vary depending on the quantity presented. Plot Manager has three sections:

Results

Results contains the list of responses available from solving the loaded model.

These are subsystems characteristics that you can select to study further. Their organizational structure:

Figure 2.

Subsystems

After selecting the result type, select a subsystem.

Plot Section

Used to display results of the analysis in a 2D plot.

The plot section contains the additional options energy flow, retain, and table.

Energy Flow

Present the energy flow after running a model for a particular subsystem. The energy flow into a given subsystem is plotted versus the connected subsystem and is displayed in the SEAM Energy Flow Graph window. A positive value represents energy flow into the subsystem, and a negative value represents energy flow out of the subsystem.

Retain

Save the results of the baseline and compare it against the latest run. By clicking on the baseline, you can view or hide the baseline results in the current plot.

Table View

Provides a spreadsheet view of SEAM results. This view displays the actual numerical values of the calculated quantities. You can also export the result into a .csv format as shown below.
