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.

The Line Settings Window is used for both the Transfer function and Time history plots. This window allows the user to select lines that are in memory to display on the current active plot as well as change the scale and extent of active plot.

The user can also create new lines using the line calculation buttons in the setting window. these buttons use the same functionality as the buttons in PREP window settings and the commands ADDITION, AVERAGE ,BROADEN, LINECOMBIN,SRSS and SUBTRACTION. To create the new line the user must select lines in the line selection check box list to be processed. Then for Broaden or Linear Combination the Text boxes in the section with the button need to be modified to the appropriate value before the button is pressed (Note: the Linear Combination will only work for up to 3 lines using the window while the command can combine more that 3 lines). One the button is pressed a new line will appear at the end of the selection list at the to of the window. The user can select this new line to be show on the current graph. The buttons do not write the line to a data file like the calculation buttons did in prep. The user must use either the WRITESPEC, or WRITETH command to writde the resultant of the calculation.

The window options for the Soil Properties allow the user to select logarithmic axes for either X or Y and Show minor ticks along the graph. This window also allow the hide or show the 2 line that make up the soil properties graph.

The soil layer settings window will appear when the user has selected a soil layer plot as the current plot. This window allows the user to select which layers will be plotted and which data from the layers will show up in the table. The defaults for the layers numbers are show in the example image of this window. 1 is the minimum default which represents Surface Level. The -1 max tells the Program to find the deepest layer in the model data and use that number as the maximum layer number.
