14.1. Commands for Creating Geometric Results Displays


In a geometric results display, you can review your solution results in a postprocessing display of your
model's elements.


The following geometric results display topics are available:


14.1. Using the GUI to Display Geometric Results


14.2. Options for Creating Geometric Results Displays
14.3. Changing the Specifications for POST1 Results Displays
14.4. Q-Slice Techniques
14.5. Isosurface Techniques
14.6. Controlling Particle Flow or Charged Particle Trace Displays

14.1. Using the GUI to Display Geometric Results


The choice of geometric results displays includes displaced shapes, results contours (including line-
element "contours," such as moment diagrams), and vector (arrow) results (such as thermal flux vector
displays). These displays are available only within POST1, the general postprocessor. The following figure
illustrates a typical geometric results display:

The most convenient way to create and control geometric results displays is by using the functions
available under Utility Menu> Plot and Utility Menu> PlotCtrls. Alternatively, you can use graphics
action and control commands, as described in the following subsections.
