4.3 Display Attributes
Deformation plots can be displayed in various forms. Display attributes for deformed plots are accessible by pressing the Display Attributes selection button on the Results application form with the Object set to Deformation.
Toggles the form to change display attributes for deformation plots.
The following table describes in detail the deformation display attributes which can be modified:
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.
