For information on controlling the display of boundary conditions, coupling
constraints, connectors, and point elements in the Visualization module, see
Controlling the display of model entities.
-
Locate the Attribute display options.
From the main menu bar, select
. Click the Attribute
tab in the dialog box that appears. The Attribute
options become available.
-
Click the Main tab to specify which attributes
you want to display and in which modules you want them to appear.
-
Select the Show attribute in option.
-
Select Module in which it was created to
display attributes only in the modules in which they are created. For example,
loads would appear only in the
Load module
and interactions only in the
Interaction module.
-
Select All assembly-related modules to
display attributes in all modules that support the display of the assembly.
-
From the Show list, select the attributes
that you want to display. Only those attributes that you select will appear in
the viewport; for example, if you toggle on Loads and
BCs, only load and boundary condition symbols will
appear in the viewport. You can also select all categories and all types within
each category by clicking Set all on, or you can
deselect all categories and all types within each category by clicking
Set all off.
-
Click the Symbol tab to control the size and
density of attribute symbols. You can also reduce the number of attribute
symbols displayed on orphan mesh regions to a fraction of the maximum allowable
number.
-
Specify your Size preferences. The higher the
size setting, the larger the symbols appear in the viewport.
-
If you are working with geometry, specify the desired density of
the attribute symbols. The higher the density setting, the more symbols
Abaqus
uses to represent each attribute.
The effect of changing a symbol density setting may vary
depending on the size of the region in the viewport.
-
If you want to reduce the density of attribute symbols displayed
on orphan mesh regions, enter a value between 0 and 1 in the Fraction
of symbols displayed on orphan mesh regions field. The higher the
fraction value, the more symbols
Abaqus/CAE
uses to represent each attribute. Choosing the default density of 1 prompts
Abaqus/CAE
to draw symbols on every mesh entity within the region.
-
Click the tab of the attribute of interest to specify which particular
attribute categories and types you want to appear in the viewport.
For example, if you click the Load tab, a list
of load categories appears. If you click the arrow next to one of the
categories, a list of all the load types within that category appears.
Use the following techniques to specify the attribute categories and
types that you want to display:
-
Click the arrow next to the category of interest. From the list of
types that appear, select those types that you want to display.
-
Toggle the desired category. This action selects or deselects all
types within that category.
-
Click Set All On to select all categories
and all types within each category.
-
Click Set All Off to deselect all categories
and all types within each category.
The check box next to a category label becomes a black check mark on a
white background when all types in that category are selected. The check box
becomes light gray and the check mark becomes dark gray if only some of the
types within that category are selected.
Note:
The attribute categories and types that you specify only appear in
the viewport if you toggled on that attribute in Step 2.
-
Repeat the previous step as necessary to display specific categories
and types of other attributes of interest.
-
At the bottom of the Assembly Display Options
dialog box, click OK to implement your display settings
in the current viewport and to close the dialog box.
