Hi,
I am writing a custom field output into an abaqus odb file using the python scripting interface. For some elements i dont have any data. Instead of writing 0 for those values into the odb fieldoutput i would like those elements to appear grey / empty when displayed.
Is there any way to achieve that?
Thanks a lot!
Regards
 
I see two options to achieve something like that:
1. You create your own legend, where values between -1 and 1 have a certain color.
2. You assign a really high or low value to your elements and set the legend limits manually.
 
Mustaine3,
I think thats a good idea, ill just give them a negative value and cut them off with the legend limit.
Thank you!
