Other Plots

This tab lets you combine any results from the simulation and plot them against one another. It allows you to explore the data freely and visualize relationships that aren’t covered by the default plots. The available data series for static and dynamic analyses are listed below.

Static analysis

Data seriesDescription
Power strokeCurrent distance of the string from its braced position
Draw lengthCurrent draw length of the bow
Draw forceCurrent draw force of the bow
Draw stiffnessStiffness of the draw, i.e., force increase per increase in draw length
String force (total)Total tensile force in the string
String force (strand)Tensile force per individual strand
String lengthCurrent length of the string, including elastic stretch
String tip angleAngle between the limb tip and the string
String center angleAngle at the center of the string
Grip forceForce required to hold the grip
Elastic energy limbsElastic energy of the limbs
Elastic energy stringElastic energy of the string
