.. _auto_curves_max:

*MAX OF ALL CURVES*
===================

Computes the pointwise maximum across a collection of input curves, returning a single envelope curve whose y-value at each x is the maximum of all inputs. Use this worker to extract the upper-bound response curve from a set of simulation or test results.

Inputs

     - —
     - 
     - Collection of input curves (vector format) over which the pointwise maximum is computed; accepts multiple curves and is the primary data source for this worker.
   * - Sync X
     - sync_x
     - string
     - no
     - 
     - Controls whether curves are resampled onto a common x-axis before computing the max ('yes') or used as-is ('no', default); set to 'yes' when input curves have different x grids.
   * - Use Cylindrical Coords
     - use_cylindrical_coord
     - string
     - no
     - 
     - When set to 'yes', interprets curve coordinates in cylindrical rather than Cartesian space before computing the maximum; leave as default 'no' for standard Cartesian curves.

Outputs

     - curves_max_all_output_1
     - vector
     - Single output curve representing the pointwise maximum y-value across all input curves at each x position, in the same units as the input curves.
