Check Element Local Axis

Function 

Depending on the direction of View, two sides of plate elements in the ECS z-direction can be displayed in different colors.

Display of results for beam and plate elements may appear visually different depending on the ECS (Element local Coordinate Systems). Two different colors are displayed for two opposite faces with respect to the ECS z-axis. This allows us to identify the ECS very conveniently.

Input

Front Face Color

Color of the ECS positive z-axis (+z)

 

Back Face Color
