CT Plot of Element Timesteps

CT Plot of Element Timesteps


Here is the same image displayed from 2 different angles in SI mode, to show how lighting can be integrated with contouring to give a better idea of shape. This is a solid mesh of the torso section from a deformable crash dummy.

Here is the Settings... panel for element timestep plotting:

Note that:

  • Timesteps are not computed for rigid elements, so their display is separately controllable.
  • Timesteps are also not computed for elements that use more obscure material types. (Most commonly used materials are supported.) The display of uncomputed elements is also separately controllable.
  • Timesteps are also currently not computed for discrete elements, or seatbelt types.

A Listing.. . of the smallest timesteps is shown below.

The remaining components that can be contoured in CT or SI mode are processed in a similar way, although the Settings... panel for each varies according to its context.
