How can I offset time and displacement at the end of a defined time?

I'd like to offset time and displacement up to 60 secs in my data but couldn't figure it out.

hello

you can simply add 60 (or any value ) to your time vector (assuming you have defined one) :

plot(time+60,data)

Thanks for the response. I want to get zero displacement and time at the end of the 60s

.

hello

sorry , I am not sure to understand . You would like the displacement curve to achieve y = 0 when t = 60 s ?

what does t = 60 s mean in your plot (as it covers much more than 60 s) ?

Hi, sorry its my bad. I had to explain what I want to do. I need to offset both time and displacement such that they are both zero at the end of the preload (60s in absolute time). First 60 s is preload. Thanks

ok

so if your time vector start with initial value time(1) = 60 s

and the y first value is y(1)

what you want to plot is :

plot(time-time(1),y-y(1))

thanks a lot
