This function allows the user to plot the time history curve for the result of the selected elements. The curve is plotted in a graph window. This function only works during contour animation with the ELEMENT RESULT option selected. The procedure of this function is the same as the NODAL VALUE CURVE, described in Section 5.6. Figure 5.10.1 shows a typical Element Value Curve.
