Tools of displaying for curves
Tools of displaying for curves
In the two contexts, there are tools available for displaying curves. These tools are presented in the following table.
| Display tools | Function | 
|---|---|
| Quantity of the curve | 
                         Selection of the quantity to display: 
  | 
                  
| Legend | |
| Scale | 
                         Choice between: 
  | 
                  
| Discretization | Number of curve discretization points Note: The discretization has no
                           influence on spline models curves: the curve is composed by segments
                           linking model's point (spline interpolation in first
                        order)

Particular case: anisotropic or depending of T
In the case of an anisotropic material or a property depending on the temperature, the material has not only one characteristic curve:
- Anisotropic material: the curves along the axes x, y and z are simultaneously displayed on the same graphic
 - Material with property depending on the temperature: the curve is displayed at the working temperature globally used in the application (see image below)
