D3PLOT 22.1
Load Paths
Load Paths
From D3PLOT 11.0 onwards, you can draw LOADPATHs joining the centres of *DATABASE_CROSS_SECTION definitions. These are created in PRIMER and require a ZTF file be generated.
The forces calculated from the *DATABASE_CROSS_SECTIONs can be plotted on the LOADPATHs to make visualisation of loads through a structure easier.
|
These options can be used to control the size of the LOADPATHs used when generating plots.
|
|
 By default the diameter of each end of a LOADPATH segment is scaled based on the *DATABASE_ CROSS_SECTION cross section area. Selecting the
option will set their diameters to the same size. |
|
| If the option has been selected then this option can be used to scale the diameters of each LOADPATH segment by it's current data value. | |
 This will show the local coordinate systems of each LOADPATH segment.
