- General contour planes on field point boxes
- Field Points Defined on any Surface
- Property Overlay Tables
Better visualize stress and displacement distribution by defining the counter plane in a desired orientation in the field point box.
Pick any surface in your model and visualize the results of that specific area.
Use the property table to get a summary of all material and joint properties in the model and display them in their report.
