Importing X-Y Plots

You can import X-Y plots to review graphical historical data without generating new results.

Before you begin:
  • X-Y plot data must exist in a Microsoft Excel workbook or comma separated value file.
  • The data must be saved with the simulation object in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
