Panel Plot Visualization Options

Define visualization options for the panel plot.

Evaluate by

Select what type of data must be shown.

Create Envelope

Activate the checkbox to create an envelope using multiple loadcases.

If the algebraic type is selected, the tool considers positive and negative values to build up maximum and minimum envelopes.

If the absolute type is selected, the tool considers absolute values to build up maximum and minimum envelopes.

Values inside parenthesis refer to the loadcase and simulation in that sequence.

Normal Loads

Activate the checkbox to show normal forces.

Tangential Loads

Activate the checkbox to show tangential forces (shear forces).

Show values

Activate the checkbox to display values.

Tolerance

Loads with an absolute value lower than the tolerance are not displayed.

Arrow Length (%)

Scales panel plot vectors for visualization.

Color

Change the color of normal and tangential loads.

Normal Load at

Select if the normal load will be shown at the center or at the corner of element edges.

Numeric format

Defines the numeric format of the values shown.

Tables

Creates tables with normal and tangential loads for one or multiple panels and for one or multiple loadcases.

The summary table shows all normal and tangential loads for panel entities.

The min/max table shows minimum and maximum values for normal and tangential loads.
