Analyzer Online uploads it and loads the updated motion profile view.

on the initial point show on the left edge of the graph.

20. Edit the initial load, then click “Submit.”

21. After setting your initial load, click anywhere else on the graph to set another point. You can click

anywhere in the open space, including on a time marker line. Do not click on the shaded area under

the graph, or you will be asked to edit an existing point.

If you click on a line, you will be asked if you would like to add a point. Select “Ok.”

22. Wherever you click, you will receive the same options to define another point. Set the time and

load, then select “Submit.”

Define at least a starting and ending point.

23. You can also create a new point by selecting “Add Point.”

Then select the load you would like to add a point to, and define a point as described above.

24. If you would like to add more points for a complicated load, do so by repeating steps 20-23.

25. If you need to edit or delete a point, click on that point. To edit it, change the values and select

“Submit.” To delete it, select “Delete.”
