## Chapter 5: History

This panel lets you compose and display time histories of Gauge points and Summary variables.

When you select this panel, the history and summary data associated with the model you are working with will be automatically loaded and the model's Ident will be displayed in the window at the top of the panel.

Load

  Load history data for other models.

Remove

  Remove history data for the selected model (at least one model must remain loaded at all times).

Reduce

  Reduce the amount of history data stored for a model.

History Type

  Select the type of history you want to view from the following options:

  Gauge Points

    Variable histories at gauge points.

  Material Summaries

    Mass, energy and momentum sums for each material.

  Part Summaries

    Mass, energy, and momentum sums for each Part.

  Energy

    Energy balance.

  X momentum

    X momentum balance.

  Y momentum

    Y momentum balance

  Z momentum

    Z momentum balance

  Jetting Analysis

    Jetting analysis plots (active only if model uses Jetting).

Single Variable Plots

  Compose plots of a single variable

Multiple Variable Plots

  Compose plots including multiple variables

Examine

  Use the left mouse button to select a point on the graph. The corresponding curve label and x and y values are displayed in the Examine panel.

Integrate

  View integrals of the variables in the current plot.

Differentiate

  View differentials of the variables in the current plot.

Min/Max

  View maximum and minimum values for the current plot.

Write textfile (uhs)

  Output the data from the current plot (Write UHS for current history plot) or output all the gauge data from a history file (Write Output for all gauges and variables in selected ident).

Set scales

  Autodyn automatically chooses scales for your plots based on minimum and maximum values of the data. Clicking this button lets you set your own scales.

Plot Styles

  Set the color, style and thickness of lines for each plot.

Legend Position

  Position the legend anywhere in the view.
