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.
Example:
Isolines 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:
3D visualization OFF |
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.
Vertex label ON, Section label OFF |
Vertex label ON, Section label ON |
