The graphs can be easily drawn using the View graphs window. This window allows you to select the variable and line (border) to define the graph. It can be opened by selecting Windows > Border graph . Through this window is possible to define and configure different types of graphs (see Figure 27).

In order to draw line graphs on cuts, we have to proceed by cutting the mesh at the desired position. To do a cut, use the Do Cuts>Cut Plane>2 points or Do Cuts>Cut Plane>3 points menu sequence. These options allow defining the cutting plane by giving 2 (cut plane will then be perpendicular to the view drawn on the screen) or 3 points. By selecting the nodes of the mesh you can introduce points, either with the mouse or by introducing their co-ordinates manually in the command line.

In the Select & display Style window the cut results will appear defined together with the other sets (see Select & Display Style window) as Cut1, Cut2, etc. All entities can be turned ‘on’ and turned ‘off’. By leaving only the cuts ‘on’ we can plot and visualize the results over the cross section, by selecting the corresponding cut in the View graphs window.
