COMPUTE THE DIFFERENCE OF TWO CURVES BY SUBTRACTING THE Y-VALUES

Subtracts the y-values of a second curve from a first curve element-wise, producing a new difference curve on the same x-axis. Use this worker whenever you need to compute the point-wise difference between two time-history or XY curves.

When to use

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Curve From Which The Values Are To Be Subtracted curvefromwhichthevaluesaretobesubtracted vector   The minuend curve (XY/time-history vector) whose y-values will be reduced; accepts multiple curves when batch subtraction is needed — leave empty only if no base curve is available.
Curve Whose Values Will Be Used To Subrtract curvewhosevalueswillbeusedtosubrtract vector   The subtrahend curve (XY/time-history vector) whose y-values are subtracted from the first curve; must share the same x-axis domain as the minuend curve.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
curves_subtract_output_1 curves_subtract_output_1 vector Resulting difference curve (vector) containing the element-wise y-values of curve 1 minus curve 2, preserving the original x-axis of the minuend.
