Section View

Right-click on Displacement in a subcase and select Edit. Check the box beside Section View tab.

The Section View tab has the following main features:

• Planar Selection:
  • Begin by selecting a main cutting plane with respect to the model’s coordinate system: Front Plane, Top Plane or Right Plane.
• Displacement and Rotation:
  • Move Plane: Moves the selected plane by a specified distance with respect to the model’s origin.
  • X Rotation: Rotates the selected plane by a specified angle with respect to the model’s x-axis.
  • Y Rotation: Rotates the selected plane by a specified angle with respect to the model’s y-axis.
  • Click on Display button located in the Plot section of the Plot dialog form to view the most current settings.
• Section at Plane with Boundaries:
  • A slice where the cutting plane intersects the model is displayed against the basic outline of the model.

    

• Section at Plane without Boundaries:
  • Only a slice where the cutting plane intersects the model is displayed.

    

• Show Section with Cut Solid:
  • The slice and the portion of the model to one side of the cutting plane are displayed.

    

  • Reverse Section Direction: This option allows you to select which side of the cutting plane is displayed.
