Problem when plotting two isotherms

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello, I am simulating two laser beams in a piece of Aluminum. The beams are separated by a distance of 150 microns with a velocity of 40mm/s. The first beam goes from 0 to 0.5 s, while the second starts in 0.51s to 1.01s in the opposite direction.
I want to plot both of isotherms, but in the same plane, one at 0.25s and the other in 0.76s. I want to know if there is a way to mix two 2D plots.

Add two contour plots to the same 2D plot group. By default the plots will use the data set specified in the plot group (Data=From parent). You should change this so that the two plots select the data set explicitly. Select the same data set in both plots, but let the evaluation times differ.

Thank you Gunnard, it worked perfectly.
