Scale is used to set the magnitude of the deflection results up or down, in one, two or three directions.
To use this scale, a deflection plot must be displayed. Click
(tab) to work with the scale. Often, it is difficult to see the shape of the part's deflection because the deflection is small compared to the over all size of the part. The default scale is 1, which means the deflection is graphically shown in its actual size. To see deflections better, the scale is increased, typically 2-10 times. This scale only graphically changes how the deflection plot looks, it does not influence the color key of the plot and its numerical range.
Dialog elements
| Scale factor (0-100) | Enter a value between 0 and 100 to specify the factor by which you can scale your model. |
| Direction | Select the direction for the scaled warpage result to be displayed on the model. |
| Apply on [drop-down] | Select whether you want the settings above to be applied to the current deflection plot only, all deflection plots for the current study, or all deflection plots for all currently open studies. |
| Apply | Click Apply to make activate on your model the changes you want to exercise. |
