Plotting Bode in one screen for different conditions

Hi all, 

Is there a way that we can retain the previous bode plots  in a single screen when we change parameters? I am running a frequency analysis using the multi-sine AC sweep probe for different loads in my converter and I am looking for a way to keep the previous runs in the same screen so I do not need to shift between different results and have them in just one graph. Thanks!

    Dear User,

    Thanks for reaching out! 

    There is a way to compare different results in the same window with SimView's "Merge" option. Let me walk you through this:

    Step1

    When the sim results are loaded, navigate to "File" and then "Save As..". Name the results accordingly and save them in a known location.

    Step2

    After implementing the system changes, rerun the simulation. Then, go to the "File" and select "Merge..". Choose the result file saved during Step1.

    Step3

    You will then encounter a window where you can specify the signals to plot simultaneously. Let's graph the Bode amplitude for two different AC sweeps together:

    Step4

    To replicate this for the phase plot, simply click on the phase plot and then choose the option circled below:

    This can be replicated as many times as needed for your results. Just make sure to save them and then merge them together.

    Best regards,

    Thanks. Nice question and answer. I was about to ask the same question.
