RecurDyn Post overcomes the limitations of the traditional RecurDyn Plot, offering a more powerful and intuitive environment for analyzing simulation results. First introduced in RecurDyn V9R4, RecurDyn Post has continuously evolved with new features added to meet user demands.


Today, we’ll explore the key features and latest updates of this innovative post-processor. Let’s dive in!


The following is a summary of the key features of RecurDyn Post.

  • Stand-alone : Unlike RecurDyn Plot, RecurDyn Post runs independently so that you can run both RecurDyn Post and RecurDyn at the same time. It is convenient when using 2 or more monitors.
  • Multi-Draw : After selecting multiple data items, you can draw the corresponding curves at once.
  • Fast processing of large result files : If a rplt file has a lot of data and its file size is large (more than several tens of GB), the performance may be slow when drawing and managing graphs. For large files like these, it supports fast curve generation, Zoom, Fit, and Draw.
  • Preview : The Preview function temporarily displays a curve without actually drawing the graph on the chart. This feature is useful for quickly checking various results by simply clicking on the items in the database.
  • Compare Data : With a graph already drawn in the Plot, the Compare Data function automatically finds and graphs similar data from a different simulation by simply specifying a new result file (rplt, chnk, etc.)
  • Easy and convenient customization : It is now possible to use C# scripts to automate repetitive tasks, convert data, add filters, etc.
  • Data Editor : It is now possible to use a table to review or modify the curve data through the Data Editor window. Data from the Data Editor window can be copied and pasted to and from Excel or Notepad.


Now, let’s take a closer look at the key features and latest updates of RecurDyn Post.


Series Information

The features provided in the Trace Data of RecurDyn/Plot have been further upgraded and are now available in RecurDyn Post.

  • Target and Range
    • Target – Global/Local: If Global is selected, the trace and measurement data for the entire range of the curve are calculated. If Local is selected, these data are calculated only within the specified X range.
  • Measurement Data
    • Delta (X, Y): ΔX and ΔY are calculated using Xmin (X1, Y1) and Xmax (X2, Y2) within the specified X range.
    • Slope: ΔY/ΔX, in other words, the slope of the straight line between (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2)
    • Area: The area (integral value) can be calculated based on the data selected in the plot. Both Mathematical and Absolute methods are supported for area calculation, and users can also directly specify the baseline of the area.
  • Copy Information: Copy the data in the dialog box to the clipboard and paste them into the notepad or other editors.
  • Options: Settings changes such as fonts sizes and colors.


Copy & Paste of Graph

  • After copying the selected graph using Ctrl+C, it is now possible to easily paste it into another document in RecurDyn Post using Ctrl+V. This makes it easy to compare graphs from different documents in one document.
  • As before, you can paste graphs into Notepad, Paint, PowerPoint, etc.


3D Plot

  • The 3D Plot function allows you to draw a 3D graph by specifying the data for the X, Y, and Z axes.
  • It is now possible to view the value changes for 3 axes or draw the movement trajectory of markers and bodies in 3D space.
  • To draw a 3D Plot, follow the steps shown in the figure below.


Export Data

  • RecurDyn Post offers the Export Data function similar to that provided in RecurDyn/Plot.
  • You can drag the desired data to the dialog box and save it in text format.
  • The number of significant digits can be set in [File]-[Options]-[General].


Campbell Diagram

  • Campbell Diagram offered in RecurDyn/Plot is also provided in RecurDyn Post.
  • RecurDyn Post provides a UI similar to that of RecurDyn/Plot and supports both 2D and 3D diagrams.
  • In the Slice Viewer of the Campbell Diagram, users can now simultaneously view Order Slices in addition to Frequency Slices. It is also possible to draw a plot by selecting only the necessary Order Slices and Frequency Slices.

  • The plots drawn in the Slice Viewer of the Campbell Diagram can be exported through the pop-up menu. At this time, the format of saved numbers follows the settings in [Options > General > Export Data].
  • Various settings for the Slice Viewer are now available through the Chart Settings in the popup menu of the Campbell Diagram.
  • Users can now draw multiple Campbell Diagrams for up to four sets of data at once.

Other Updates

  • Add Y-Axis : Users can add an arbitrary Y-axis through [Home tab > Draw group > Add Y-Axis button].
  • Support for changing the numerical display format of tooltips : A new property called Number Format (Axis Label) has been added to the Properties of Plot. This allows you to separately modify the number of digits applied to the numerical display of the tooltip displayed on each axis in the Properties of Plot when the mouse cursor is placed on the graph.
