Mesh data plots

Mesh data plots
  • ELNR

For plotting element numbers.

Input (separated by a space or tab):

1st line: Colour number, line width

In a vertical section, the 2 element numbers of the neighbouring elements are plotted in the section elements. For vertical sections that do not run along element edges, these two numbers are usually the same, as such a section usually runs through the elements.

If element numbers are to be plotted, they can be selected as a layer in the model data.

 

  • KL2D

For plotting 2D fracture lines.

Input (separated by spaces or tabs):

1st line: colour number, line width, line type

It is only possible to display fracture lines in the view/profile display.

 

  • KNNR

For plotting node numbers.

Input (separated by a space or tab):

1st line: Colour number, line width

For vertical sections that do not run along element edges, this command can be used to plot the node numbers at the corners of the section elements between which the section runs.

If node numbers are to be plotted, they can be selected as a layer in the model data.

 

  • KREU

For plotting fitting points (digitising crosses) together with the coordinate frame. Without further input.

The batch commands HORI, VERT, DATE and NEUE automatically cancel the flag, so that the batch command KREU must be placed after these commands and before the first command for plotting a data type.

In the user interface, there is a corresponding input option for displaying fitting points in the "Advanced settings - Layout"

 

  • MARK

To display the markings (data type MARK in the model file).

Input (separated by spaces or tabs):

1st line: colour number, line width, line type

For horizontal sections of 3D models, all markings are displayed by default, regardless of which layer they are in. If a negative colour number is specified, only the markings of the current layer are plotted.

No markings can be plotted for vertical sections of 3D models that do not run along element edges. For vertical sections of 3D models along element edges, only node markers are plotted.

Markers with the value 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 are not displayed as PLX markers but as "lines". They have fixed heights: MARK=1.0 (square) = 0.28 cm, MARK=2.0 (octagon) = 0.32 cm and MARK=3.0 (triangle) = 0.35 cm. Point markers with values greater than or equal to 100 are plotted as PLX markers with the preset marker height of 0.32 cm. This preset marker height can be changed using the plogeo.ini command HMAR.

 

  • NETZ

To plot the mesh.

Input (separated by spaces or tabs):

1st line: colour number, line width, line type

 

  • RAND

For plotting the mesh edges

Input (separated by spaces or tabs):

1st line: colour number, line width, line type
