Compare results using the plotter
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This example shows how to plot several mesh/result combinations on the
same plot so that you can compare results at different time steps.

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 11-16

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 17-21

Compare two results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use the :class:`ansys.dpf.core.plotter.DpfPlotter` class to plot two different
results over the same mesh and compare them.

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 21-32

.. code-block:: Python


    # Here we create a Model and request its mesh
    model = dpf.Model(examples.find_msup_transient())
    mesh_set2 = model.metadata.meshed_region

    # Then we need to request the displacement for two different time steps
    displacement_operator = model.results.displacement()
    displacement_operator.inputs.time_scoping.connect([2, 15])
    displacement_set2 = displacement_operator.outputs.fields_container()[0]
    displacement_set15 = displacement_operator.outputs.fields_container()[1]

Use the :class:`ansys.dpf.core.plotter.DpfPlotter` class to add plots for the
first mesh and the first result.
