2.2 Target Entities

Cursor plots can be displayed on various model entities. By default Cursor plots are targeted on all nodes displayed in the current viewport regardless of the results data type (elemental or nodal based). To change target entity selection for Cursor plots, select an entity type from the Target Entity option menu on the Select Results form.

The following table describes in detail which entities Cursor plots can be targeted.


Entity	Description
Nodes	Individual nodes may be selected on which to display the Cursor plot. You may type in any node numbers manually or by selecting them graphically from the screen. Be sure to include the word Node in front of the IDs you type in manually, (i.e., Node 1 5 55 100 etc.). Elemental based results are extrapolated to the nodes and averaged.
Elements	Individual elements may be selected on which to display the Cursor plot. You may type in any element numbers manually or by selecting them graphically from the screen. Be sure to include the word Elem in front of the IDs you type in manually, (i.e., Elem 1 5 55 100 etc.).Results are plotted at the element centroid and summed and averaged if necessary (for nodal results).
