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.
