Monitoring force history
After the job is running, from the "Job Monitor" dialog, click on "Show graph" and open the file "project_force.csv"
The horizontal axis is "Time", the physical time simulation has reached. On the right side is a list of variables available for plot. "Time", "Force:X", "Force:Y" and "Torque:Z" are always in the force history file. Other components are available if they were requested and/or the simulation is a 3D analysis.
User can right click in the graph area and select "Set Range" in the popup menu. The range of each axis can be specified. Default range is automatically computed to cover the min and max values.
