Changing the Deformation and Entity Labels of Plots

Before you begin:
  1. To display the plot options, do one of the following:
    • Click the results plot and select the Plot options tool in the context toolbar.
    • Double-click the results plot.
  2. Select Show deformation to display the deformed model, or clear this option to display the undeformed model.
  3. If Show deformation is selected, change the Scale factor of the deformation.

    By default, the deformed view of the model is displayed with an automatically calculated deformation scale factor. You can change this value to adjust the deformation scale factor for the current plot, and you can lock in a custom value as the deformation scale factor for every subsequent plot you open. If is displayed, the deformation scale factor is currently locked and common to all plots you open; if is displayed, the deformation scale factor can be different for each plot. If you want to restore the automatic deformation scale factor after you have modified it, click .

  4. Click Show node labels to display node labels on the model.
  5. Click Show element labels to display element labels on the model.
  6. Click Close to exit the editor.

The plot changes according to your specifications.
