Dialog

ENTITY

Types of entities of which results are plotted.

QUANTITY

Result quantity to plot.

Only quantities applicable to the selected entity type are listed.

SYSTEM

Axis system in which the selected result quantity is expressed in.

Depending on the entity and quantity type, available axis systems may be Principal, Local, Global, UCS, Restraint UCS and Combined. Combined indicates result quantities that comprise multiple components to produce a result; these include principal stress and von Mises stress. Restraint UCS refers to the UCS of the restraint attribute applied to the node, in the 1-2-3 system (i.e., first, second and third axis of the UCS).

COMPONENT

Component of the selected result quantity to plot.

The components available depend on the chosen axis system.

SHOW

Position along which beam results are extracted.

Applicable to beam elements only.

SURFACE

Surface on which plate results are extracted.

Applicable to plate elements only.
