Changing the Display Layout
Changing the Display Layout
As the example demonstrates, turning on lots of suffix options can results in the table rows expanding and containing a lot of empty grey rows as a consequence. It is often the case that the data fields of interest are on the early rows of a keyword, for example Joint nodes appear on the first line, and while it may be necessary to display lots of suffices in order to see all variants one is only interested in a few rows of data.
One solution to the problem is to change the layout of the editor rows:
is the default, shown in the figures above, that mimics the LS-DYNA keyword row and column layout. is the alternative which condenses each item onto a single line by concatenating the rows. |  |
The image here, reduced in size to fit the page, shows how the three rows have been concatenated so that each item only uses a single line. Empty fields are still greyed out, but they no longer affect what is displayed so severely. Note also that "wide" fields such as TITLE (column #2) are compressed into a standard width column in this display mode.
