Hello,<\/p>\n

I modelled a simple geometry using BEAM189-Elements. The preprocessing and static analysis work fine. I now want to plot the Normal forces in the beam elements and export the plot. Using “ETABLE,Normal_Force,Smisc,1” the plotting works fine. However, when i use the “\/show,png,,0” command (or in GUI: “PlotCtrls -> Redirect Plots -> To PNG File) , the lines are only one pixel wide and hardly visible, especially if i add a white background. Is there an option to export nice PNG-Files?<\/p>\n

See the Commands i used for Postprocessing below.<\/p>\n

Thanks for your help!<\/p>\n
