When Windows Options is selected the window below will be shown. All of the option boxes are always visible, but some are disabled depending on the plot. One the user clicks OK the user changes will be sent to the graph.
Model Display Volume – The user can view part of the model by defining the minimum and maximum of the view volume. When redefined the program will hide any geometry outside of the view volume. By default the volume will always be set to a box that surrounds the model
Show element group – Allow the user to hide or show groups from a list of groups in the model. The user can check or uncheck groups to show or hide. If the user wants to select deselect multiple groups the user can highlight the groups to be changed and then press the spacebar.
Colormap Value Range (Bubble and Contour only) – Change the range of values that the colormap represents by modifying the values in the edit boxes. If a color falls outside of the user defined range the color shown on the plot for that value will be the min color (Dark blue) for smaller values or the max color (Dark Red) for larger values. Output Direction (Vector only) – Show vectors in the selected direction or all directions at once.
Hide/Show Elements/Nodes - The user can hide or show elements or node (depending on the plot) by clicking the Hide/Show button after the modifying the edit boxes and radio buttons in this section. The user can enter in a list of disjointed node or element numbers with a space divided list. Also if the user has a continuously numbered range of nodes/elements using a dash “-” between the first number and the last number in the block will hide all nodes/elements in the range. The user can Hide/Show as many ranges or list as desired by using pushing the Hide/Show Button multiple times but the data in the Element/Node Number box can only contain a list or a single range when the button is pressed. When hiding elements only one group can be entered in the group edit box at a time. Only Once the Hide/Show button is pressed those elements/nodes will be hidden/shown even if the user does not click OK on the popup window.
Animation Options – Allows the user to change the scale factor for the vector and deformed shape plots and the refresh rate for all graphs by changing frame pause for all graphs(the non animated graphs as well)
Show Undeformed Shape (Deformed Shape Plot Only)– Show the wire frame of the original Unreformed model with Deformed model when checked. Title - Add a title to the animation plot.
