Monitors and Plots in Time Dependent Problems

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In time dependent problems the display specifications must be preceded by a display-time declaration statement.  The display-time declaration statement may be either of the form

       

FOR CYCLE = number

 

in which case the displays will be refreshed every  number time steps, or

 

FOR T = time1 [ timeset ... ]

 

Where each timeset may be one of the following :

time2

BY delta TO time2

 

In this case the displays will be refreshed at times specified by the timeset values.

Any number of plot commands can follow a display-time declaration, and the specification will apply to all of them.  It is not necessary to give a display-time specification for each plot.

Multiple display time declaration statements can be used.  When multiple display time statements are used each applies to all subsequent display commands until a new time declaration is encountered or the MONITORS or PLOTS section ends.

Examples:

"Samples | Applications | Heatflow | Float_Zone.pde"

"Samples | Applications | Chemistry | Melting.pde"
