## 11.5. Plot Lines Tab

Variables that are available to plot can come from a variety of sources. Select the source by setting Variable Set appropriately. Available settings are:

- CFX Solver: This option will be available for all CFX runs, and enables the specification of all variables relating to the CFX run.

- ANSYS Field Solver: This option is available only if an ANSYS Multi-field run is being performed with ANSYS running a nonlinear simulation, and enables the selection of ANSYS convergence variables.

- ANSYS Interface Loads: This option is only available if an ANSYS Multi-field run is being performed, and enables the selection of the variables relating to the data exchanged between the ANSYS and CFX Solvers.

Display plot lines by selecting them in the tree view. The tree has three types of entries:

1. Categories

   - Expand a category by double-clicking it.

   - Right-click a category to select or deselect all plot lines below it.

2. Variables

   - Select or deselect individual plot line variables.

   - Expand a variable by double-clicking it.

   - If a derived variable of interest is not currently displayed, right-click and select Add Derived Plot Line For Variable > <Derived Variable Name>.

   - Right-click a variable to select or deselect all derived plot lines below it.

3. Derived variables

   - Select or deselect individual derived plot line variables.

If working with a `Residual` monitor, you can set Residual Mode to either `RMS` or `MAX`. The Residual Mode setting is the default visibility filter for variables of `Residual` type.

Note: If you manually select a variable, it is plotted regardless of the Residual Mode setting.
