Question

How can I insert a smooth range / smooth line in the result diagram?


Answer:

In the Result Diagrams dialog box, it is possible to create smooth regions to prepare the results for engineering. This function is available when clicking the "Edit Smooth Ranges" button. The dialog box shown in Image 01 appears.

Define the smooth ranges in the table columns on the left; the entries for Start, End, and Length are interdependent. Each range can be activated separately. The "Use for Results" section controls for which deformations, internal forces, stresses, or strains smoothing should be performed. The smoothing can be Constant or Linear for all smooth ranges.

Furthermore, you can display a smooth line over the entire result diagram by clicking the button of the same name (Image 02).

The integral of the smooth region is displayed if you select the "With result interpretations" option in the result diagram settings (Image 03).
