Contour plots

Contour plots map results to your model, with results values represented as colors scaled across a selected spectrum. The following figures show samples of the styles of contour plots available. In each example, deformation results are mapped to the undeformed model.

Note:

Contour plots are available when you set the color display to contour plot.

Smooth contour plot

Banded contour plot

Element contour plot with external element edges displayed

Isoline plot

Isosurface plot

Display of the birth and death state of elements

Contour plots display the state of elements that are added or removed from a solution at specified times or subcases. The contour colors reflect the state (active or dead) of the elements for the particular dataset. Elements that are dead are hidden.
