3.6. Other Plots

Here you can combine arbitrary simulation results and plot them together in order to visualize things that aren’t shown on any of the default plots. Examples are the draw curve of the bow (draw force over draw length) or the velocity of the arrow over time. See Table 3 and Table 4 for the data that is available in static and dynamic analysis, respectively.
