To display this PropertyManager, run a thermal study. Right-click Results 
and select Define Thermal Plot.
Thermal results are available for nodes only.
Display
 |
Component |
Select a thermal component to plot. Directions are based on the selected reference geometry. See Thermal Components.
|
 |
Units |
Select a unit for the thermal plot.
|
You can control the display of the fringe plot using the Settings PropertyManager.
Advanced Options
 |
Plane, Axis or Coordinate System |
Select a reference plane or a reference axis to plot directional thermal results.
|
| |
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.
