Plotting over a selected surface
Plotting over a selected surface
(OP)
Hi folks,
Does anyone know if it is possible to limit a results plot (in my case a vector plot) to a specific surface?
I've got a set of results for a rather complex casting and I'm trying to create a visual showing my principal strains along with their direction.
I'd like to limit the plot to a split surface that represents where I will be placing strain gauges on the casting.
Unfortunately I can only make a vector plot over the whole model, which (1) slows down my computer considerably when modifying the scale and density of the vector plot, and (2) shows me a lot of extraneous vector arrows that muddy up my visual.

RE: Plotting over a selected surface
This is just something in the back of my head from the past. No guarantees.
