Computer This one is used to show what the computer types. It is also used for equations, keywords (eg type *PART) etc. Operator This one is used to show what you must type. type Button text This one is used for screen menu buttons (eg APPLY) Notation Triangular, round and square brackets have been used as follows: • Triangular To show generic items, and special keys. For example:<list of integers> <filename> <data component><return> <control Z> <escape> • Round To show optional items during input, for example:<command> (<optional command>) (<optional number>) And also to show defaults when the computer prompts you, eg: Give new value (10) : Give model number (12) : • Square To show advisory information at computer prompts, eg Give filename: [.key] : THIS >>> [H for Help] : Page 0.1 T/HIS User manual Version 14.0, March 2017 Page 0.2 User manual Version 14.0, March 2017 T/HIS 1 Introduction T/HIS is an x/y plotting program, specifically written to perform two functions: 1. To produce time-history plots from transient analyses, such as those performed using LS-DYNA. 2. To plot any form of x/y data that is produced either by a program or by directly typing in values. T/HIS is a graphically driven, interactive program. Input and manipulation of data is through a graphical user interface on systems capable of running X-Windows applications; selections are made through "pressing buttons" using a mouse. On machines not capable of running X-Windows it is also possible to use T/HIS in a "command line" mode of operation; instructions are entered through the keyboard to perform the required operations. 1.1 Program Limits There are a number of limits in T/HIS of which the user should be aware. These are listed below: Number of graphs T/HIS can have a maximum of 32 graphs Number of curves The number of curves is unlimited Number of points The number of points that can be defined per curve is unlimited. Time-history blocks In the interface to the LS-DYNA time-history (.thf) file there is a limit of 100,000 items in each of the node, solid, beam, shell and thick shell time-history blocks: thus 500,000 items overall. In the interface to the LS-DYNA extra time-history (.xtf) file up to 100,000 nodal reactions (or groups of reactions) may be processed. Number of colours By default, T/HIS curves wrap around the following six colours in order: WHITE RED GREEN BLUE CYAN MAGENTA However, a further 24 predefined colours are available if required and 6 user defined ones can be created. Title The title can contain up to 80 characters. Labels Labels for axes and lines can contain up to 80 characters. Page 1.1 T/HIS User manual Version 14.0, March 2017 1.2 Running T/HIS 1.2.1 Starting the code For users on a device with a window manager T/HIS is run from the T/HIS button in the SHELL: If your system has been customised locally you may have to use some other command or icon: consult your system manager in this case. 1.2.2 Graphics Driver and Platforms T/HIS 9.3 onwards use a OpenGL graphics driver. Both the 32 and 64 bit versions of T/HIS use 32bit (single precision) numbers to store and plot data. The 32 bit version is limited to a maximum of 4GB of memory on all platform (3GB on windows). Page 1.2 User manual Version 14.0, March 2017 T/HIS 1.2.2.1 "Batch" Mode T/HIS can run in "batch" mode where the main application window is not displayed on the screen. "Batch" mode is available on all platforms. To start T/HIS in batch mode use the command line option "-batch". e.g. this14_64.exe -tcf=script.inp -batch When running in "batch" mode T/HIS will automatically exit at the end of the script regardless of whether or not "-exit" is specified. NOTE: All image, postscript and PDF outputs require a DISPLAY on UNIX / LINUX systems.
