This section describes how you can customize the color, line
style, and arrows of streamlines using settings in the Stream Plot
Options dialog box.
You can open the Stream Plot Options dialog
box by selecting
OptionsStream
from the main menu bar of
the Visualization module of Abaqus/CAE.
The changes you make in the Stream Plot Options
dialog box apply to all active streams in the current viewport only. Each
viewport has separate stream options, which enables you to display streamlines
differently in each viewport. For example, you can display streamlines using a
uniform color in one viewport and display thicker streamlines that use banded
contours based on the current primary variable in a different viewport.
You can also control the default settings that appear in the
Stream Plot Options dialog box by editing the
onCaeStartup() function in the
Abaqus
environment file (abaqus_v6.env). For more information,
see
Using Abaqus Scripting Interface commands in your environment file.
