Vector

Specify the detail items for presenting vector results.

Only the items expressed with (V) are applicable among the result items. Check 'Vector' in the 'Display Type' in Detailed Results.

Applicable Modules:

From the Property Window, select Vector

Scale Ratio

Scale factor for vector display.

Line Thickness

Specify the thickness of the vector lines.

Constant Arrow Head Size

True

A uniform size of arrow heads is displayed irrespective of the magnitudes of the vector results. The size is adjusted in 'Arrow Head Scale'.  

False

Arrow head sizes are automatically set by the magnitudes of the vector results.

Constant Arrow Body Size

True

A uniform size of arrow lines is displayed irrespective of the magnitudes of the vector results. The size is adjusted in 'Arrow Line Scale'.

False

Arrow line sizes are automatically set by the magnitudes of the vector results.

All Components

When generating the principal stress vectors of the ground elements, specifying 'True' produces the maximum and minimum principal stresses simultaneously.  

Arrow Head

One Direction

Arrow head is shown in only one direction of vectors.

Both Directions

Arrow heads are shown at both ends of the vectors.  

None

Arrow heads are not shown in vectors.

Vector Type

Mono

Display the colors defined in Vector Color (+) and Vector Color (-) in accordance with the directions of the vectors.  

Contour

Display the vector results in contour colors.

Position

Center

Locate the centers of the vectors at nodes.    

Start

Locate the start points of the vectors at nodes.

End

Locate the end points of the vectors at nodes.

Use Reference Value

Specify whether or not to display vectors relative to the vector result specified in 'Reference Value'.  

Reference Value

Define the reference value.

Apply Immediately

The changed items in the detail items are immediately applied to the result data.
