Primary Command PRESENT

      

FEMVIEW Command only.

The command PRESENT is used to initiate the presentation of results, and is only available within the results assessment module FEMVIEW..

PRESENT has the following secondary commands:

2.13.1 PRESENT CONTOUR - contour plots (iso-lines)

2.13.2 PRESENT DIAGRAM - shear force diagrams - bending moment diagrams

2.13.3 PRESENT GRAPH - graph plotting

2.13.4 PRESENT NUMERIC - numerical values

2.13.5 PRESENT OPTIONS - controls on the `PRESENT' commands

2.13.6 PRESENT PEAKS - minimum and maximum values - highlight concentrations

2.13.7 PRESENT SHAPE - displaced shape

2.13.8 PRESENT VECTORS - vector plots

Values considered for Presentation
Results are presented for those elements and nodes in the current results set (see 'RESULTS RANGE SET'). Additional controls on the values in the results set considered for presentation are given by the RESULTS RANGE MATERIAL/SURFACE/VALUES commands; which can be used to request specific material(s), surface(s) and a range of values as filters on the presentation command.

However, certain of the PRESENT commands allow a range of elements (or nodes) to be specified in the command itself and, where this facility is used, results for the specified range of entities will be presented regardless of whether they are in the current results set or not, and generally speaking, regardless of the MATERIAL/SURFACE/VALUES filters currently applied. The results set will be unchanged.

Presentation modes available with each results type
For nodal, element nodal, Gaussian and element invariant results, tables showing the presentation modes available with the various view modes are given below.
