Post-processing: Range graph commands |
These commands apply to line and turbine blade results and, for the specified variable, output tables containing range graph results.
The Range graph command produces a table of 7 columns, containing arc length, minimum, maximum, mean, standard deviation, upper limit, and lower limit. For each point on the line or turbine blade a row is generated in the table containing the statistics of the values that occurred at that point during the specified simulation period.
You can elect to output only a subset of the columns, by listing the required columns in the additional data column. This is most easily done using the instructions wizard.
The Range graph summary command produces a table with two rows, one for the overall minimum and one for the overall maximum. Each row has 4 cells; two are label cells and the other two contain the overall minimum (or maximum) value that occurred at any point on the line or turbine blade during the specified simulation period, and the arc length at which it occurred.
The Range graph min and Range graph max commands output just the overall minimum or maximum value respectively.
If you have loaded a simulation file then you must specify, in the simulation period column of the instruction, the period of simulation for which you want results. If you have loaded a data file, you should leave this column blank; the results for the static configuration will be reported. For a frequency domain simulation the output is calculated from synthesised time history results, for which you need to define a specified period.
If the additional data column in the instruction is left blank then the results will apply to the whole line or turbine blade. Alternatively, you can give a range of arc lengths, e.g. "20 to 50", and the table will then only include results for points whose arc length is within that range. You can also use ranges such as "<35" or ">60" to specify all arc lengths less than a point or all arc lengths greater than a point. The length units used must be the same as those used in the OrcaFlex simulation file. You may instead specify a section number in the additional data column to restrict results to that section.
