Plot properties dialog-Deflection tab

Configure how warpage results are displayed.

Dialog elements

Color
Select the plot to be displayed on the Warp Deflection result. The direction of the warpage in a particular coordinate, or the (coordinate independent) magnitude of the warpage can also be selected.
Dataset
Displays the contoured result to be displayed on the deflection plot.
By default, the deflection result itself will be overlaid on the deflected part. You can select a different result to overlay on the deflected part by clicking the Browse button on the right.
Browse (Deflection Plot Overlay)
Select the result to overlay on the deflected part.
Component
Select which component of the selected coordinate system will be displayed by the color plot.

Change the Coordinate system type drop-down option to reveal component options pertaining to Cartesian, or Cylindrical.

Reference coordinate system
Select the reference coordinate system. This is fixed to Global unless a Local Coordinate System (LCS) has been previously defined.

Allows you to apply a reference coordinate system to the color deflection display of your model. For example, in addition to using a Global system, you can apply a Local Coordinate System (LCS), however, you need to create a LCS before applying it Create LCS (Geometry tab > Local Coordinate System panel > Create LCS).

Coordinate system type
Select between a cylindrical or Cartesian coordinate system to view the vector-based result.
Note: The cylindrical coordinate system is a three-dimensional system which essentially extends circular polar coordinates by adding a third coordinate (Z) which measures the height of a point above the plane.
Scale factor
Specify how to magnify the warpage result to enhance the plot visualization.
Value
Enter magnification value to improve the visualization of the warpage result.

For example, entering 10 will increase the warpage display by a factor of 10 on the model.

Direction
Select the direction for the scaled warpage result to be displayed on the model.
Show anchor plane
Display the currently active anchor plane on the model.
Overlay with undeformed part
Select to overlay the warpage result on the undeformed part, allowing a clear view of the predicted warpage.
