Vector Plots of Initial Velocities

Vector Plots of Initial Velocities

The figure above shows a typical plot of initial velocities for a simple structure. To the right is the Settings... panel for this plotting mode.

Note that:

• Initial velocities in Ansys LS-DYNA can arise from five different definition methods. Display of each of these is independently switchable.
• Both translational and rotational initial velocities can be plotted, but as separate plots.
• The default contour bounds are automatic, but you may set any range you wish.

Below is the Contours... panel, with the number of levels reset to 5.
