ETABLE - Line element plot
ETABLE - Line element plot
(OP)
Hello all,
I need to plot the axial load solutions for my frame. I use beam elements, so I've read solutions "SDIR" in the nodes I and J. Now, my problem is that the default view of Ansys is with a 2D diagram on the Line element. I want coloured elements, I don't want to show the 2D diagram on the bar (e.g. as in the nodal solutions), do you think that it's possible?
Thank you very much,
Best regards
Luca

RE: ETABLE - Line element plot
if I have understood it correctly, then yes, you have a mean to do that: turn "ON" the /ESHAPE Display of Element (in the GUI, it's under "PlotControls -> Style -> Size and Shape").
Right now I don't remember if you need to have Powergraph ON or OFF (it doesn't work with both...)

I've attached a print image of the Line Elem plot as I've now, because it's very hard to explain it by words...
