How to generate a time-history plot

So called time history plots can be created based on a previous displayed sequence of data-sets (see ''Toggle Dataset Sequence'') with the command ''graph''. It is also possible to use only the command line. For example:

• ds 1 e 3
• ds 1 2 10
• graph set t

will produce a time history plot for the nodes stored in set over all loadcases from 1 to 10 for the entity nr 3. Or

• graph set t DISP D1

will display the displacement in direction 1 for all loadcases. For more details and other options look into the ''graph'' command description.
