By default, the results are displayed in color by means of eleven isolines between the minimum and maximum extreme values. In the "Edit Isoline Value and Color Scales" dialog box, you can edit the number of isolines and colors. For the black-and-white printout, set the color of the isolines to black. To view the values of the isolines, it is necessary to display the annotations of the individual isolines. In the Display Navigator of RFEM, there are three options for doing this.
- Automatic Setting of Result Values on Isolines
The automatically generated annotations of the isolines are always shown along the steepest result grade. This can have the effect that, in case of a small distance of the isolines, the values overlap.
- Displaying Result Values on Sections
By defining a new section to display the annotation of isolines, you can select the optimal line of greatest slope for the result values. To do this, select the "Show values on isolines" check box when defining a new section. You can activate or deactivate the various lines of greatest slope in the Results Navigator. The description of the sections should be deactivated in the Results Navigator for printing the isolines.
- Display of Manually Set Result Values
You can show the value of each individual isoline by means of the manually applied isoline annotations. Thus, the manually specified result values are an optimal addition to both previously mentioned annotation options, because you can quickly specify an additional annotation for the individual isolines.
