Toggles the form to change display attributes for deformation plots. |
Attribute | Description |
Deformed/Undeformed Color | The deformed and undeformed plots can be colored in any of 16 distinct colors as displayed by this color selection widget. The deformed and undeformed plots can have different colors assigned to them. |
Render Style | Render styles are Wireframe, Free Edge, Hidden Line, and Shaded and can be applied to both the deformed and undeformed shapes. The default is Wireframe which displays all visible finite elements. Free Edge displays only those edges that pass the feature angle setting. Hidden Line hides finite elements that are behind other. Shaded will be displayed with the selected color setting. |
Line Style | The styles of the lines plotted for the deformed and undeformed shapes can be set to a solid line or variations of dotted lines. |
Line Width | The thickness of the lines in the deformed and undeformed plots is set with this attribute setting. |
Scale Interpretation | The visual amount of deformation is set with this parameter. The deformation can be scaled relative to the model size (Fraction of Model Size) or can be a truly proportional representation (True Multiplier) of the actual values. The default is Fraction of Model Size. |
Scale Factor | The scale factor for both the Fraction of Model Size and True Multiplier are set in this databox. The defaults are 10% (0.1) for Fraction of Model Size and 100% (1.0) for True Multiplier. |
Show Undeformed | This is a toggle to control the display of the undeformed shape. If the toggle is ON then the undeformed shape will also be plotted along with the deformed shape. If the toggle is OFF, then no undeformed shape will be plotted. Bear in mind that only one undeformed shape can be displayed in the same viewport at the same time if they are targeted at the same entities. You may not see changes to the undeformed shape if another plot has an undeformed shape plotted also. |
Title Editor | Selecting this button opens a form that allows the deformation plot title to be edited. See Results Title Editor, 37. |
Show Title | If this toggle is ON, then a title for the deformed plot is displayed. Otherwise no title is displayed. |
Lock Title | If this toggle is ON, then the title for the deformed plot is not modified by results form selections. Otherwise some results form selections modify the title. |
Maximum Label Display | If this toggle is ON, then the maximum value in the selected results set is displayed in the viewport. Otherwise it is not displayed. For transient results or when multiple subcases have been selected, the maximum value is the maximum encountered in all the subcases. |
Label Style | Label styles may be changed such as the label color, format (fixed, integer, or exponential), and the number of significant digits. |
Important: | Once display attributes have been selected, they will remain in effect for the deformed plot until the user physically changes them. Also changes to undeformed tool attributes may not be visible if multiple deformation plots are posted to the same viewport. |
