Exporting a Graph

You can export a graph to another application or copy a graph or its data to the clipboard to be used in another application.

Important: If you are selecting a component that is in a Task Plan, you must select the component using the model explorer.

  1. Select the component whose approximation you want to visualize.

    • From the Design Gateway,

      • Select a component on the Sim-flow tab or in the model explorer, and click the Approximations button on the component title bar.
      • Right-click the component on the Sim-flow tab or in the model explorer, and select Approximations.

      The Approximations dialog box appears.

      1. In the Activated column, select the approximation that you want to visualize.
      2. Click Visualize.

        The Approximation Viewer dialog box appears.

        Tip: You can also access this interface from the Approximation Wizard after initialization by clicking Visualize. For more information, see Initializing Approximations and Viewing the Data.

    • From the Runtime Gateway,

      1. Select a component on the Sim-flow tab or in the model explorer.
      2. Click the Visual Design tab, and select the approximation from the list next to the component title bar.
      3. Click the Visualization subtab.

  2. From the Approximation Viewer or the Visual Design tab, select a graph and then select or double-click the graph to enlarge it.

  3. Right-click the image, and select one of the following:
