The graphic options let you customize graphics settings

Nodes

Select the desired option:

Symbol

Selects the symbol that you want to assign to the finite element nodes.

By default, this option is selected.

Color
Selects the color of the chosen symbol to represent finite element nodes.

Elements

Color

Selects the element color for meshes created with partner solutions.

Meshes that are created in the Advanced FE Modeling app inherit the color from their supports (geometry or mesh). To modify the color of meshes created in the Advanced FE Modeling app, use the Mesh Visualization action from the action bar.

1D elements shrink
Defines the display size for 1D elements. You can apply a coefficient between 0.50 (minimum) and 1.00 (default) to display the elements at 50-100% of their actual size.
2D elements shrink
Defines the display size for 2D elements. You can apply a coefficient between 0.50 (minimum) and 1.00 (default) to display the elements at 50-100% of their actual size.
3D elements shrink
Defines the display size for 3D elements. You can apply a coefficient between 0.50 (minimum) and 1.00 (default) to display the elements at 50-100% of their actual size.
Edge-limit size

Defines the mesh tolerance under which two circles are added to the visualization of BAR elements.

By default, this value is equal to 0.01mm.
