*vectorplot
Creates a vector plot from results data.
Syntax
*vectorplot title vector_size mesh_color full_size constant_size
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command
Description
Creates a vector plot from results data. The results file must be loaded before executing this command. The *freesimulation command clears the plot.
Inputs
- title
- The title to use for the plot.
- vector_size
- The size of the vectors. If constant_size is set to 0, this defines a scale factor for the vectors. If constant_size is set to 1, this defines the size in model units
- mesh_color
- The color used to plot the mesh. Valid values are 1 through 64.
- -1 - Uses the elements color.
- 0 - Uses the background color.
- full_size
- Determines whether the contour plot fills the entire screen. Valid values are:
- constant_size
- Set to 1 to plot all vectors with a constant length, otherwise set to 0.
Example
To load the result file named C:/my_results/test.res and generate a vector plot for Subcase 1 with Displacements data type, a vector model size of 2.5, a mesh color of black, and normal plot size:
*analysisfileset C:/my_results/test.res
*inputsimulation "Subcase 1" "Displacements"
*vectorplot "" 2.5 0 0 0
*freesimulation
