1. How to get started with plots - Part 1 Run a case in SIMA Use one of the examples in SIMA and run a condition or Make your own model and run a condition Example we use the simple flexible riser case in SIMA (see figure) The initial condition is run and used to show how to make a plot 2. How to get results we can plot Option 1 - use the condition and postprocessor Run the initial condition Create a post-processor with the results from the condition (here: Initial) as input Option 2 - create a workflow Create a workflow with a condition (here: Initial) as input Run the created workflow If you have tried out both option 1 and option 2, you will have something like this in your SIMA navigator If you click on the post-processor called Initial, you will se the sheet to the right If you clock on the workflow called Initial, you will se the sheet to the left 3. Handy tools to make a plot You can drag and drop the tools into the workflow/post processor sheet Signal Output Selection This tool we use to sort signals types and to choose the signal we want to plot Specify properties This tools you can, among other thing, set legends on results You can also specify plot related properties such as line width, line style, turn of/off statistics, on/off grid etc. Plot This one we use to make the plot Connect it to the output you want to plot and run the plot node You may set the size of the plot in the Configure tab Your may change the Title, x and y-label by first making them editable 4. Notes Compare results for different runs and/or models You may run several conditions in the same workflow sheet You may post process several conditions using the same post-processor Also see How to make log-log-plots 5.
