Multiple 1D curve
Curve type M1D curve
This format allows you to create a 3D plot that is defined by multiple 2D line plot data on the Z-axis against the corresponding values on the X-axis against the index of the curve on the Y-axis within Simcenter Amesim.
It contains then three items, an X item, a Y item, and a Z item.
By default the Y item is a curve index. It is possible to change this index to a more relevant value.
M1D curve
The action M1D curve from the Tools menu allows you to convert multiple 2D curves plotted in one graph into one M1D curve and display it as a 3D waterfall plot. In this case the index values are set from the plotting order of the 2D curves.
