Edit Object Element Stresslimits

Insert a new or edit an existing (complex) element stresslimits 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.

SettingDescription
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.
Stress Limit Number Stress limit number (as defined in ::Properties .: Material data)
Draw Diagram Draw the stress limit line 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.
