How to Plot Loading against Deflection graph

[helmi30]

Iam having a problem and confused about viewing the output result. Please let me know on how to plot a graph of loading versus displacement at a desired node, once the analysis has successfully done.
Thanks for any feedback.

Hi helmi30.
I am not sure but I think you can try like this:
1. You can output the loading-time graph since the loading is input by yourself.
2. You can output the displacement-time graph in the visulization module.
3. From Create XY data, there's an item called 'operate on XY data',you can use the combine function listed to get the loading-displacement relationship.

continuing on:
4. use Combine (X,X), the X axis being the first input and the Y data the second.
