Hello,

Please help me to plot the graph in the attached MathCad file.

Thanks for the time and help.

As Valery says, if you want to plot Y against X then either Y must be a function of X, in which case X must appear on the rhs of the function definition, or both X and Y must be functions of another variable that appears on the rhs of both function definitions (a parametric plot). I can plot

Y(X):=sin(X)

or

Y(A):=sin(A)

X(A):=cos(A)

but I cannot plot

Y(X):=sin(A)

I set yours up as a simple x-y plot, but it could also be done as a parametric plot.

If we have z(x, y):=... we must have x and y in right part of this operator of user function creating.

If we want to plot z(x. y) function we must at first check what returns this function:

x:=...

y:=...

f(x, y)=???

Thank you.

The left hand side of the function (equation) is simply: t/tau2. That is why I put it as T(t,tau2)

I need L/L0 on the y-axis and t/tau2 on the x-axis.

Thanks again.

Do you try to plot a parametric X-Y plot?
