Context: The arguments of this operation are not commutative. If X-coordinate values for the two data objects do not match, Abaqus/CAE computes the missing data points to allow the X–Y data objects to be aligned. For more information on how missing data points are computed, see Understanding X–Y data interpolation and extrapolation. A typical application of this function would be to combine a data object having X-values of time and Y-values of load with a data object having X-values of time and Y-values of displacement to produce a data object having X-values of displacement and Y-values of load. Another example would be to combine a data object having X-values of time and Y-values of stress with a data object having X-values of time and Y-values of strain to produce a data object having X-values of strain and Y-values of stress, as shown in Figure 1. |
