The graphing tool (also known as the “Diagram Tool”) is an extremely useful tool in the Virtual CRASH arsenal. This tool allows one to monitor dynamical variables versus time while simultaneously monitoring the motion of vehicles and other objects playing out in the view port. This can be incredibly helpful while conducting a simulation optimization for example. In the video below, you are introduced to the Diagram Tool and its various features and functions.

If you are using the kinematics tool in your simulation sequence, you can even use the diagram tool to interactively control the acceleration values for the kinematics sequence entries. Just select the kinematics object in the left column and then use the white dot control grips to change the speed at the start of each kinematics sequence.
