This function allows the user to plot time-history curve for the maximum and minimum value in all the nodes or elements in the selected parts. The function only works during contour animation. The program displays a dialog window as shown in Figure 5.8.1 to prompt the user to select the desired parts. Figure 5.8.2 shows a typical result history curve in part thickness animation, where one is the max. thickness-time curve, and the other is the min. thickness-time curve.

NOTE:  The user should select the morphed part (blank) as the tool parts don’t have results.
