Drag vs Variable

The Drag values are plotted against different variables for all optimizations run. All plots below showcase how variables impact the drag coefficient.

1. Click Insert > Insert Scatter (X,Y) > Scatter Plot.

2. Click the plot, Right-click > Select Data > Add > Enter Series Name as shown in the plot below.

3. Select run (Optimization run) column in the Series X Values and obj1 column in the Series Y Values to get "Drag varying with each optimization run".

4. Click new Scatter plot (Follow step1 and step 2).
5. Select fl (Front Length) column in the Series X Values and obj1 column in the Series Y Values to get "Drag vs Front Length" plot.

6. Click new Scatter plot (Follow step1 and step 2).
7. Select fang (Front Angle) column in the Series X Values and obj1 column in the Series Y Values to get "Drag vs Front Angle" plot.
