The Curves panel allows you to input an xy data set from an ASCII file.  As a result, a xy curve is created that represents that data graphically.  This panel can be used to define/import the load curve that can be assigned to the blank material by editing the material card image.

The internal subpanel allows you to edit, update and view the curve points.  You can also view the xy plot by clicking on the display toggle (a plot having the same name, as a curve will be created if it does not exist).
