Layers

By means of layer management (visibility properties) different layers can be switched on or off in the graphical display. If the lamp is switched on, the layer is switched on as well, if the lamp is switched off, the layer is switched off as well.

Visibility properties: layers

 

Example:

Layers: Isolines ON

Isolines ON

layers: Isolines OFF, mesh ON

Isolines OFF, mesh ON

 

With a 3D visualization all results, deformation as well as the moments and the shear forces, are shown in a 3D view:

layers: 3D visualization OFF

 

3D visualization OFF

Layers: 3D visualization ON

3D visualization ON; the pin on the bottom- and topside indicates the maximum and minimum value

 

Vertices could be section’, support’, load’ and so on. The "Vertex label" layer is a global setting for all types of vertices (sections, supports, loads, etc.). Section, Support, Load or any other label layer turns on label of an object as well as label of a vertex (if global Vertex label is on). It means, that section's vertex labels are visible only when both "Vertex label" and "Section label" are ON.

 

Example:

In case "Section label" layer is switched off and the "Vertex label" layer is switched on, the vertex label of the plate section is not displayed. Only when both "Section label" and "Vertex label" layers are ON, the vertex label is displayed.

Layers: vertex label ON, section label OFF

Vertex label ON, Section label OFF

 

Layers: vertex label ON, section label ON

Vertex label ON, Section label ON
