Show as vector plot |
Available only for resultant temperature gradient (GRADN) and resultant heat flux (HFLUXN). Generates a vector plot where a vector is plotted at each node to show the magnitude and direction of the selected component. You can control the size and density of the vectors in a vector plot using the Vector Plot Options PropertyManager. |
Plot Step
Available only for transient thermal studies.
 |
Plot for Single Step |
Select this option to plot the results at the selected solution step.
|
 |
|
Displays the time corresponding to the selected solution step.
|
 |
Plot Step |
Sets the solution step number for the plot. |
 |
Plot Bounds across All Steps |
Select this option to plot extreme values regardless of the solution step they occur at.
Select one of the following:
|
Maximum
|
Displays the maximum algebraic values (envelope plot) across all solution steps.
|
|
Minimum
|
Displays the minimum algebraic values (envelope plot) across all solution steps.
|
|
Absolute maximum
|
Available only for frequency and buckling studies.
Displays the absolute maximum values (envelope plot) across all solution steps.
