Description: When saving history data from the Save XY Data As dialog box, you can now apply any of the Abaqus/CAE built-in operations to the data set. The available operations include a variety of mathematical, trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, and other functions. Figure 13–11 shows some of the single-operand functions available.

If you are saving two history output variables at the same time, there are several new dual-operand functions available:

• append((XY,XY))

• combine((XY,XY))

• power((XY,XY))

If you are saving three or more history output variables at the same time, there are two new multi-operand functions available:

• append((XY,XY,...))

• vectorMagnitude((XY,XY,XY))

In addition, you can now change the prefix of the data object name when saving multiple history output X–Y data sets. The default data object names are XYData-1, XYData-2, etc.; you can edit the XYData portion of the data object name to specify a new prefix.
