C&R
offers a template for use within Microsoft's Excel. This template
uses the data set manager from the EZ-XY Plot
Utility to allow the user to acces data from save files, heat
rate files, form factors, radiation conductors in addition to delimited
text files. This plotting template only works with SINDA/FLUINT
save files from version 4.5 or newer.
Each
chart is independent and can display different information. Unlike
EZ-XY, each plot can only use a single data set however, each data
set can reference multiple Sinda/Fluint save files for comparison
plotting. Customization within the Excel plotting options will allow
the user to compare multiple data sets.
Multiple data
sets are used to combine data from different sources or to manipulate
sets of data separately. For example, to match test data to analysis
data, a text data set could be created which would read and plot
data from the test. A second data set could be created from a Sinda/Fluint
run and plotted on the same plot to enable comparisons
.
This
free Excel template is installed with EZ-XY which is a free utility.
