Story Shear Force Ratio

Contour

Display the displacement of the model in contour.

Ranges: Define the contour ranges.

: Assign the color distribution range of contour. Using the function, specific colors for specific ranges can be assigned.

Note
Contour Range Max/Min values can be larger than the max/min output values.  If the Contour Range values exceed the output values, they are entered at Rank 0 and Rank 11.

Number of Colors: Assign the number of colors to be included in the contour (select among 6, 12, 18, 24 colors)
 

Colors: Assign or control the colors of the displacement contour.

Color Table: Assign the type of Colors.

: Control the colors by zones in the contour.

Reverse Contour: Check on to reverse the sequence of color variation in the contour.

Contour Line: Assign the boundary line color of the contour

Element Edge: Assign the color of element edges while displaying the contour
 

Contour Options: Specify options for contour representation

Contour Fill

Gradient Fill: Display color gradient (shading) in the contour.

Draw Contour Lines: Display color boundaries in the contour.

Draw Contour Line Only
Display only the colored boundaries of the contour.

Mono line: Display the boundaries of the contour in a mono color.

Contour Annotation
Legend or annotation signifying the ranges of the contour is displayed.

Spacing
Display the spacing for the legend or annotation.

Coarse Contour (faster) (for large plate or solid model)
Represent a simplified contour for a large model using plate or solid elements in order to reduce the time required to represent a complete contour.

Legend

Display various references related to analysis results to the right or left of the working window.

Element numbers pertaining to the maximum and minimum forces are displayed.

Legend Position : Position of the legend in the display window

Rank Value Type: Specify a type of values in the Legend and the number of decimal points.

Values

Display the nodal displacements in numerical values.

The font and color of the numbers can be controlled in Display Option.

Decimal Points: Assign decimal points for the displayed numbers

Exp.: Express as exponential

Set Orientation: Display orientation of numerical values

Note
The default Decimal Points can be controlled in "Preferences".
Set Orientation = 0 horizontally displays the numerical values to the right of nodes or elements.
The orientation angle represents the counter-clockwise direction, which may be used to enhance the readability of the numbers.
