Reply To: Inversed Contour Legend Issue in MAPDL When Changing Legend Position

[wrbulat]

Hello there,

Erik posted your request internally to us, his coworkers. After a lot of trial and error, I came up with something that might work for you:

 

Please copy the listing below into a text file and then read that file into an interactive MAPDL session with the /INPUT command.

*get,minval,plns,,min ! minval = LOWEST NUMBER IN PREVIOUS CONTOUR PLOT

*get,maxval,plns,,max ! maxval = HIGHEST NUMBER IN PREVIOUS CONTOUR PLOT

 

 

C*** SECOND CONTOUR PLOT, ONLY LEGEND DISPLAYED w/REVERSED NUMBERS AND COLORS

I hope this works for you.

Kind regards,

Bill
