Table 6.1-1 Interpreting intercept values of the Profile Plot.
Both intercepts have the default value zero, and you will probably have to
change them in order to get the Profile Plot desired.
Third Intercept (for LIF and Parametric analysis add-on only)
In case, the input parameter is selected, a third intercept can be used to
combine X, Y or Z profiles with input parameter.
Tolerance Ideally the measuring points included in a Profile Plot should be exactly
identical on all but one of their position coordinates.
For practical purposes however, they need only be identical within a certain
tolerance band as specified by the property Tolerance.
In the example used here, the X-coordinate is allowed to vary, while the
other coordinates must be Y = 50 ± 0.1 mm, and Z = 0 ± 0.1 mm
respectively.
Figure 6-29 Using a tolerance band to create a Profile Plot from
measuring points that are not exactly aligned.
With a conventional cartesian traverse mesh, the default tolerance value of
0.1 mm will normally be sufficient, but with other types of traverse meshes,
you may wish to increase it as illustrated in Figure 6-29.
Confidence Confidence interval can be displaid as a vertical line on not on the plot
Curve Fit (for “LIF and parametrics analysis add-on” only)
If the “LIF and parametric analysis add-on” is installed, the profile plot
includes curve fit calculation based on least-sqaures method.
