show several 2D plot groups as subplots together

Is there such a feature as the title such that when f6/f7 to flip time steps, all the subplots can be shown simultaneously for the same time step? It's like plot arrays, but plot arrays can only exist within the same 2D plot not across different 2D plots.

Hi Carl,

You can have mutiple 2D plots within the same 2D plot group. In order to display them in an array, you can use the "Translation" sub-node for the individual 2D plots to move them within the common plot window so that they all display and step through with a common time step.

The time can be stepped through with the controls at the top of the Plot Group settings pane.

I have added an animation and an image to illustrate. This particular model is stepping through a rotation of a permanent magnet, the 3 plots sow the Bx, By and Bz components over a surface, but the same strategy could be applied to a time-dependant study.

An alternative to using Translation subnodes is to use the settings in the Plot Array section in 2D and 3D plot groups.
