Plot Model Contours dialog box

Plot Input
Type	Select what you want to plot:ExpressionGenerates a contour plot of an expression based on pre-processing variables, such as spatial coordinates, time, or frequency. ThicknessGenerates a contour plot of shell element thicknesses as a standard post view. Thickness values are displayed as element-nodal scalar results.
Mesh Selection/2D Mesh Selection
Mesh selection	Controls the meshes for which the software plots the expression or thickness contours. You can select 2D or 3D meshes for expression contours and 2D meshes for thickness contours.SelectedLets you select the individual meshes for which to display the expression or thickness contours.DisplayedPlots contours for all currently displayed meshes.
Select Mesh	Appears when Mesh Selection is set to Selected.Lets you select the meshes for which to display the expression or thickness contours.
Expression to Plot
Expression	Lets you specify the name of the expression you want to plot. The expression must depend on model data, not results.To select an expression from a list, click the down arrow and select Expression . Select an expression and click OK.
