9.4.2 Settings

Settings

The display options available under the Settings navigator entry control the design locations of the result values and their representation.

If the Extreme Values option is selected, only the minimum or maximum result values are displayed, depending on the setting.

In addition, result values can be displayed either On grid and user-defined points or On FE mesh points. Use the latter option with caution, because importing all FE result values takes time for larger models.

The final three check boxes listed under Settings control the type and extent of the labeling:

• The Symbols of the set result type (u, m_x, σ_z, etc.) are also output.
• The Numbering of Grid points or FE -Mesh nodes (G1, M1, etc.) are output as well.
• The values can be displayed with the Transparent option - without frame and background.

To adjust the colors and fonts of the result values, use the menu option

• Options → Display Properties → Edit.

In the general Display Properties dialog box, specify the settings in the category

• Results → Result Values → Result Values on Surfaces.
