Multiple curve graphing

Is there any function which allows me to plot two curves - one from an excel file, and the other from a simulation run onto the same graph for comparison/analysis?

Thanks in advance!

    HyperGraph (or the graphing portion of HyperView) can do all of the curve overlay functions. From Excel, you will need to export the curve in CSV or TXT format, but your simulation results data can probably be read directly from the solver results file.

    ETG is absolutely right. Use 'Build Plots' panel in HyperGraph (HG).

    The Build Plots panel constructs multiple curves and plots taht can be overlaid in a single window or each curve can be assigned to a new window.

    Following plot data files are supported.

    ADAMS REQ and matrix files

    Abaqus mass from DAT files

    DADS graph files

    GENESIS history files

    Altair HyperForm DAT files

    Altair HyperMesh RES files

    Altair MotionSolve files

    User-defined import templates and external readers to directly read any file format

    In addition to the standard set of import templates, an open interface for creating custom import filters is provided. Using import language and external readers, you can write import templates for most any ASCII data file not directly supported in the program.
