Plot of parametric sweep results for a single time

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'm simulating time-dependent laser heating of an object. I plot the temperature vs time at a point probe. Everything is well up to this point. Then I have added a parametric sweep varying the laser power. I would like to generate a plot of temperature vs laser power at a given time, but any table that I generate includes all the times, not just a single time. How do I generate a table of temperature vs power that I can plot? (version 5.2)

The data in probe tables is generated by features in Results > Derived Values. You can either add a new Point Evaluation feature to that list or modify the feature that is used by the probe: Change the list of times to evaluate for from All to the time that you are interested and click on Evaluate > New Table in the Settings window's toolbar.
