The Data Query panel, curvesQuery3D-24, uses vertical cutting surfaces for viewing and plotting non-planer cross sections.  Surfaces can be defined by math expressions, specifying orders, and selecting points on the waterfall plot or 3-D surface plot.

hmtoggle_plus1greyCut List

Lists the vertical cutting surfaces contained in the plot, or new queries that are added to the current plot.  The currently selected vertical cutting surface is displayed in the Cut text field.  Select or deselect the check box to activate the vertical cutting surface displayed in the Cut text field.

•All - Selects every query in the list.
•None - Deselects all highlighted queries in the list.
•Flip - Exchanges the currently selected queries for the unselected queries in the list.
•Delete - Deletes a section query.
•Add - Adds a new section query.
•Add n... - Adds a specific number of queries.
hmtoggle_plus1greyType

Select the type of query that you want to create.

Option

Description

Order

Passes a query surface through an order.

 

Input vector

XY vector which contains the driving or input vector for the waterfall plot.

 

Time vector

XY vector which defines the time values used to create the waterfall plot.

 

Order

Select the order that you want to query.  You can enter the values manually or left-click on an order in the waterfall plot.

 

Input vector is in RPM

Select this option to scale the response curve by 60 to use RPS.

 

Apply

Click Apply to create/update the query surface.

Equation

A math equation defining a curve on an XY plane.

 

X

Math expression on the XY plane, along the X axis.

 

Y

Math expression on the XY plane along the Y axis.

Point List

Create a curve on the XY plane by picking the X, Y, and Z points.

 

X, Y, Z

Click in the X, Y, and Z fields to enter values.

 

Add Row

Click Add Row to add a row to the table.

 

Delete Row

Select a row and click Delete Row to delete the row from the table.

 

Clear Table

Clear the contents of the table.

 

Move Arrows

Use the up and down arrows to move between rows.

 
hmtoggle_plus1greyLayout

Option

Description

Layout

The Layout option allows you to specify how the plotted data is arranged on a page.

 

One plot

Data is arranged on one plot.

 

One plot per cut

One plot is created for each vertical cutting surface.  The Page Layout button is activated when you select this option.  Choose a page layout type from the pop-up dialog.

 

New plot

Curves are plotted in a new plot window.

Create curve

Creates an XY curve of the 3D plot cross section.

Use the two drop-down menus under Create curve to define the independent and dependent vectors for the XY curve.  Both menus contain the same options: X, Y, and Z.

X, Y, and Z are the X, Y, and Z values in the 3D plot.

Select an option from the first drop-down menu to define the independent vector, then go to the second drop-down menu and select an option to define the dependent vector.  Click Plot Data to create the plot.

 

Preview

Preview the plot before creating it.

 

Plot Data

Creates the curves.

How do I...

hmtoggle_plus1Create a new query surface at an order:
1.From the HyperGraph 3D toolbar, click the Data Query button, curvesQuery3D-24.
2.Click Add under the Cut list to add a new cut.
3.Set Type to Order.
4.In the Input vector = field, enter a p#w#c#.vector vector reference or, while holding down the SHIFT key, left-click on a curve in HyperGraph 3D to automatically insert that curve’s magnitude reference.

Or, use the curve selector to select a curve.  Click the curve selection button, chartXY-24, in the Input vector text box to display the Curves dialog.  Choose a curve from the Curve tree and click Select.  You can also click Preview to view the curve in the Preview dialog before selecting it.  Click Close to close the Curve dialog.

5.In the Time vector = field, enter a p#w#c#.vector vector reference or, while holding down the SHIFT key, left-click on a curve in HyperGraph 3D to automatically insert that curve’s time reference.

Or, use the curve selector to select a curve (see step 4).

6.Select the order from the Order combo box.

Or

Click on the waterfall plot to specify an order that passes through the selected point.

7.Click Apply to create the cut.
hmtoggle_plus1Create a new query surface based on a math expression:
1.From the HyperGraph 3D toolbar, click the Data Query button, curvesQuery3D-24.
2.Click Add under the Cut list to create a new cut.
3.Set Type to Equation.
4.Enter a math expression in the X= field.
5.Enter a math expression in the Y= field.
6.Click Apply to create the cut.
hmtoggle_plus1Create a new query surface by picking points:
1.From the HyperGraph 3D toolbar, click the Data Query button, curvesQuery3D-24.
2.Click Add under the Cut list.
3.Set Type to Point List.
4.Click points on the curve.

The X, Y, and Z values are appended.

5.Highlight a row in the table and click Delete Row to remove the point.
hmtoggle_plus1Create multiple query surfaces at one time based on order lines:
1.From the HyperGraph 3D toolbar, click the Data Query button, curvesQuery3D-24.
2.Click Add n… under the Cut list.
3.Enter a list of orders separated by commas or spaces in the Order list= field.  Use an underscore, _, to specify a range.
4.Enter a p#w#c#.vector vector reference in the Input vector = field or, while holding down the SHIFT key, left-click on a curve in HyperGraph 3D to automatically insert that curve’s magnitude reference.

Or, use the curve selector.  Click the curve selection button, chartXY-24, in the Response text box to display the Curves dialog.  Choose a curve from the Curve tree and click Select.  You can also click Preview to view the curve in the Preview dialog before selecting it.  Click Close to close the Curve dialog.

5.The Time vector = field is automatically filled in.  However, this can be changed.  See Step 3 on selecting curves.
6.Click OK to create a cut for each specified order.
hmtoggle_plus1Plot an order in an XY plot window:
1.From the HyperGraph 3D toolbar, click the Data Query button, curvesQuery3D-24.
2.Select one or more cut surfaces from the Cut list.
3.Under Create curve:, from the first drop-down menu, select the X, Y, or Z axis of the 3D plot as the independent axis for the created curve.
4.Under Create curve:, from the second drop-down menu, select the X, Y, or Z axis of the 3D plot as the dependent axis for the created curve.
5.Set the Layout to One plot or One plot per cut to place all created curves in one plot window or each curve in its own plot window, respectively.
