Visualize calculation results (Post processing)

Overview

MAKROS provides commands for visualizing results of finite element calculations in several graphical forms.

Following data types can be visualized:

Scalar fields that are node or element related.

Graphics are done by the command Scalar field. Distributions of scalar fields can be plotted as iso lines, iso surfaces, column charts or xy-plots.

Node or element related vector fields.

The graphics are done by the command Vector field. Vectors can be plotted as a direction. In case of deformation vectors, it’s also possible to plot the deformed structure or to do a harmoniously simulation.

Element related vector crosses.

The graphics are also done by the command Vector field. The 2 vectors building the cross can be plotted with different colors.

Within menu group Post processing following commands are available:

Load post data	Load data for post processing from text files
Visualize	Specify the kind of visualization for scalar fields
Scalar values	Select range of scalar values to be displayed
Node « Element values	Conversion between node and element values
Color definition	Define color values for color indices
Load case	Define combinations of load cases
Element selection	Select elements for structure or scalar/vector field plot
Individuals	Show scalar data for individual nodes/elements
Color bar	Define position of color bar or define additional text
Array Plot	3D Plot or XY Plot of array data
Vector plot	Set parameters for following plots of vector fields
Deformation	Plot deformed structure
Vibration	Show a dynamically simulation
