This section is used to describe some of the functions used to show elements and nodes in a finite element model.
fem_show_element_cs_plot.plot_elem_cs
segment_id, c_elem_lp_str, a_axis_show, a_axis_label_show, a_axis_color, cs_def_type, cs_origin_display_loc, use_offset_1d_elem
Description:
 
 
Display element coordinate systems of selected element.
Input:
 
 
INTEGER
segment_id
Graphic segment ID
STRING
c_elem_lp_st[]
List processor string with list of elements
INTEGER
a_axis_show(3)
For each element direction (X/Y/Z) :
0 (FALSE) : Do not plot this axis.
1 (TRUE) : Plot this axis.
INTEGER
a_axis_label_show(3)
For each element direction (X/Y/Z) :
0 (FALSE) : Do not show axis label.
1 (TRUE) : Show axis label.
INTEGER
a_axis_color(3):
For each element direction (X/Y/Z) :
Color id (0-15)
INTEGER
cs_def_type
Element coordinate system definition :
1 : Patran
2 : MSC Nastran
3 : MSC.Marc
INTEGER
cs_origin_display_loc
element coordinate system origin display location :
1 : Patran definition of element centroid
2 : Selected analysis code element coordinate system definition (cs_def_type) location.
INTEGER
use_offset_1d_elem
0 : (FALSE) Do not consider 1d element (beam) offset for CS display
1 : (TRUE) Consider 1d element (beam) offset for CS display
Output:
 
 
INTEGER
<Return Value>
Element coordinate system ploted on the selected elements.
