Axisymmetric 3D displays
Use the Set Result command to render axisymmetric results as a virtual solid model.
Note:
The axisymmetric 3D display options support results from any of the SOL 401 subcase types, although, only the Fourier normal modes results vary around the circumference.
You can set the axis of rotation and the start and end angles. For example, set Start Revolve Angle to 0 and the End Revolve Angle to 360 to render the full 3D part. Specify different start and end angles to render the model as a cutaway, wedge, and so on.
You can specify the number of radial sections to sweep through for the rendering. The more sections, the finer the display, but the more resources used.
With the Axi-symmetric Display Options dialog box, you can generate high-quality, realistic 3D renderings of axisymmetric results. Such displays enhance reports and presentation, and can improve communication with colleagues.
Axisymmetric results displayed on free element faces (the default).
270-degree 3D axisymmetric cutaway display. Edges are set to Feature.
Note:
Setting up the axisymmetric 3D results display is available when you set the color display to contour plot.
