Section on 2D member

Sometimes the user might find useful or necessary to display his results in specified position on the 2D member. Then he is allowed to define his own section across the 2D member where the designed result values may be displayed separately or in addition to other drawing styles. Definition of 2D member section can be done through Section on 2D member service.

In this Section on 2D member dialog user defines name of the section, vector of direction of the section and the way, results will be graphically represented. User may choose from few possibilities to draw results:

• Upright to element – values will be drawn upright to the element
• Element plane – values will be drawn in the element plane
• X Direction – values will be drawn in X direction
• X Direction – values will be drawn in Y direction
• X Direction – values will be drawn in Z direction
• Draw similar as for setting in section properties – when this possibility is chosen, then the values will be drawn the way it is already defined in appropriate service by Draw parameter.

After definition of the section parameters, the user confirms the dialog and manually defines the position itself. When this is done, also coordinates of the definition points will be displayed in previous dialog and user may also edit them either there or in section properties. Section geometry may be also again adjusted in graphical window and all geometry functions may be used together with it.

To display results on already defined 2D member section, it is necessary that user checks the marked check box Section in properties of appropriate service. Then after the refresh, results will be displayed on defined section as well (or only).

Also note that by activating Section check box, Drawing setup 1D option appears in the service properties. Here user may adjust the view of the values representation. This will be the same for Edge representation too.
