Set up an axisymmetric 3D display

Setting up the axisymmetric 3D results display is only available when you set the color display to contour plot.

1. Right-click the post view in the Post Processing Navigator and choose Set Result.

2. In the Edit Result dialog box, click Symmetric Display Options.

3. In the dialog box, from the Axis of Rotation list, select the desired axis about which the results rotate.

4. (For Fourier normal modes axisymmetric results only) From the Display list, select 3D Model.

5. In the Start Revolve Angle and End Revolve Angle boxes, type values in degrees for the start and end angles to display.Example: Type 0 in Start Revolve Angle and 360 in End Revolve Angle to render the full 3D virtual solid.Type 0 in the Start Revolve Angle and 270 in End Revolve Angle to render the axisymmetric model with a 90-degree cutaway.

6. In the Number of Sections box, type an integer to define the number of radial sections to display. A larger number of sections results in a finer display but requires more resources to render.

7. Click Apply to render the 3D virtual solid view with the current settings. The dialog box remains open so you can continue to adjust the display.

8. Click OK to render the virtual solid and return to the Edit Result dialog box to further refine your results.
