Displaying symbols for interactions and prescribed conditions that use
analytical fields
When you apply an interaction or a prescribed condition to a
region, you can display symbols in the viewport that represent the interaction
or prescribed condition.
By default, the symbols for interactions and prescribed conditions that
use analytical field distributions are scaled based on the calculated value.
For symbols other than arrows, a plus sign (+) or a minus sign (−) is displayed
inside each symbol to indicate whether the magnitude of the interaction or
prescribed condition is positive or negative at that location. You can turn off
the symbol scaling using the Attribute display options in
the Assembly Display Options dialog box. For more
information, see
Controlling the display of attributes.
Abaqus/CAE
displays scaled-down symbols for interactions and prescribed conditions when an
analytical field evaluates to zero for a portion of its region. These
scaled-down symbols are noticeably smaller than the default symbol size. For
more information, see
Understanding prescribed condition symbol type, color, and size.
