Enter Data Using the Table and Plot Area

Use the table and the plot area together to create, edit, and visualize input points for varying data sets.

The table and plot area are available in tools throughout HyperWorks CFD when defining varying data, such as piecewise linear functions or cubic splines. Any data edited in the either the table or the plot area dynamically updates the other.

  1. Add and remove points from the table.
    Option Description
    Insert a value before the first data point.

    Delete the selected data point.
  2. Define the location of the points in the following ways:
    • Enter coordinates in the table.
    • Click and drag a point in the plot area.
