Settings available for the object Plot.
Property Long name Unit Description
None None - Shows the default visualization of the mesh.
NodeArrows NodeArrows - Displays arrows on the location of the nodes indicating the vectors
ContourLines ContourLines - Displays contour lines of the result type.
ColourContourLines ColourContourLines - Displays coloured contour lines of the result type.
Shadings Shadings - Visualizes the amplitude of the result type by coloring the mesh from blue to red.
IsoAreas IsoAreas - Displays curved lines that separate each area of the mesh that has a different value and also a line joining minimum and maximum value.
PrincipalDirectionsNoColour PrincipalDirectionsNoColour - Shows the principal direction vectors in the soil elements in the colour red.
Deformation Deformation - Shows the deformation vectors on the structure.
Distribution Distribution - Shows how the given result type is distributed over the structure.
DistributionOpen DistributionOpen - Shows how the given result type is distributed over the structure as a wireframe.
PlasticPoints PlasticPoints - Shows the various plastic point types in the mesh.
CenterPrincipalDirectionsNoColour CenterPrincipalDirectionsNoColour - Shows the principal direction vectors in the soil elements in the colour red, but doesn't display vectors at the edges.
NodeLabels NodeLabels - Shows labels with the result type value above all the nodes. The nodes must be visible for the labels to be visible as well.
StressPointLabels StressPointLabels - Shows labels with the result type value above all the stress points. The stress points must be visible for the labels to be visible as well.
StressPointArrows StressPointArrows - Displays arrows on the location of the stress points indicating the vectors
PrincipalDirections PrincipalDirections - Shows the principal direction vectors in the soil elements.
CenterPrincipalDirections CenterPrincipalDirections - Shows the principal direction vectors in the soil elements but doesn't display vectors at the edges.
DistributionEnvelope DistributionEnvelope - Shows the minimum and maximum value on the structure calculated over all steps.
DistributionEnvelopeOpen DistributionEnvelopeOpen - Shows the minimum and maximum value on the structure calculated over all steps as a wireframe.
