Set Results Display Options

The following commands are located on the Result and Display panels. While viewing your results, use the commands to modify the features of the results display for your model.

	Command	Used to
	Same Scale	Maintains the same scale while viewing different results.
	Color Bar	Displays the Color Bar settings dialog box where you adjust the color bar display parameters.
	Smooth Shading	Displays color changes using a blended transition.
	Contour Shading	Displays color changes using a strict banding between colors.
	No Shading	Turns off the Shaded Results display.
	Maximum	Turns on and off the display of the point of maximum result in the mode.
	Minimum	Turns on and off the display of the point of minimum result in the model.
	Boundary Condition	Turns on and off the display of the load symbols on the part.
	Probe	Activates the Probe command. You place probes as needed in areas of interest to display the stress values for that point.
	Display Probe Labels	Toggles the visibility of probe labels.
	Adjust Displacement Display	Displays a preset list of displacement adjustments. Choose a setting to enhance the graphical presentation of your model deformation.
	Mesh View	Displays the element mesh used in the solution with the result contours. Also displays the mesh over the undeformed model.
	Animate Displacement	Animates the displacement for the current result type, displacement display, and the progressive results of the stress.

Use the Adjust Displacement Display pull-down list to adjust the deformed shape. Select Actual to view the deformation at scale. Since the deformations are often small, the various automatic options exaggerate the scale so that the shape of the deformation is more pronounced.

Use the Display commands to set the shaded style to contour, smooth, or no shading. The legend shows while contours are off.

The values of all the display options for each results set are saved for that results set.
