Usage
The Results Titles Description tool allows users to define custom results titles using keywords to automatically generate the correct display. The Title textbox is best seen as a template that are filled for each plot. This method automatically replaces any titles to be displayed. The Results Titles Description must be activated prior to results plotting. The template is then filled in by the results data used to create the current plot tool. Currently, only one line of Results Titles Description is allowed. The steps are as follows:
1. Open the Results Titles Description form.
2. If desired, make changes to the Title template using the keywords, or by typing in your own title. The keywords are replaced by values from the results data. If there is no data for a keyword, it is left blank. For example, if the template was "Component: <Component>" and the results plot tool was a Fringe plot of von Mises stresses, the title would be
"FRINGE: Component: von Mises".
3. Select "Activate" from the Results Titles Description form. After completion of this task, the form may be closed.
4. Generate Results application plot tools.
5. To disable the Results Titles Description tool, open the form and select
"Deactivate".
The result appears in the viewport when the Preview button is selected.
Limitations
A maximum of 72 characters can be displayed in any user defined Results Titles. Any additional characters are truncated and will not be displayed.
