Discovery AIM – Scaling deformation contour results

    • SolutionSolution
      Participant

      During the evaluation of contour plots, you may want to scale the deformation of model to get a better visualization of the deflection. This scaling feature is available under Results task – Settings – Graphics Control – Deformation scaling. See below image showing this option.

      • The Auto scale gives you the best scaling where the true deformation cannot be easily visualized. You can use other predefined scaling factors (0.5x Auto, 2x Auto, and 5x Auto) to change the magnitude of the scaling.
      • The Custom option will help you to specify a scaling factor of your choice.
      • To display the true deformation of a physics region, set this option to Actual.
      • To ignore the deformation, set this option to None.
