Time- or Coordinate-Dependent Table

Allows you to specify a tabular dependency on one of the following coordinates: x, y, z, radius, phi, theta or time (only for Time-dependent analyses).

Procedure

  1. In the Dependency type list, select the desired table type to define a dependency on the selected coordinate or time.
  2. In the Table of values, specify values in all columns.

    While specifying a tabular dependence you can import data from Microsoft Excel: define a two-column table in a Microsoft Excel worksheet, copy it to the Clipboard, then click any argument (left) cell in the Table of values and press Ctrl+V or right-click the cell and select Paste to paste the data into the table.

    It is also possible to export the Table of values into a Microsoft Excel sheet: hold down Shift and click the cells you want to export. Press Ctrl+C or right-click the selected cell and select Copy to copy the contents of the cells into the Clipboard, then open a Microsoft Excel document and paste the data in a cell.

    Note:

    Note, that the argument values in the Table of values must be sorted in ascending order (the smallest values at the top, with values increasing going down the table).

  3. For the F(time) - table if you want to repeat the same set of sequence values continuously, check the Periodic option.
  4. Click Chart  to display the data plot.
    Tip

    You can modify the dependence by dragging its tabular points in the plot area.
