Edit Object Element Stress
Insert a new or edit an existing (complex) element stress object. Element stress objects are used to display stresses and results of attribute sets. In the editor, complex objects are represented by an abstract place holder.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Elements | Select All, Add, Edit or Delete an element series. Furthermore, elements may be selected as defined in an RmSet. |
| Activation | Draw all (DRAWALL), active (DRAWACT) and non active (DRAWNACT) element results. |
| Scale and Direction for Results | Set the result scale (magnitude) and the vector (direction) to draw results. The result scale is equivalent to result units displayed as 1.0 cm on the plot. By default the results are plotted in the local element coordinate system. In some cases the global coordinate system may be selected. |
| Result load case or envelope | The load case name or the superposition file name with a leading result value is given. |
| Stress Point | The stress point name used for result plotting. |
| Draw Diagram | Draw the result diagram in given scale and direction with the given pen definitions. |
| Draw Values | Draw result values as text with the given pen and text size. |
Automatic generated texts (as result values) are placed using clipping with collision control. New text is placed only if it does not overlap with existing texts.
Variables may be used for the scale, load case name or superposition file using the drop down arrow or by inserting the variable in angle brackets directly instead of static values.
