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.

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. |
