Description
Regular
Common data types like stresses and strains in the tensor format are
shown with arrows (default). Shear components are drawn as opposing
arrows in the plane in which they are acting. Shell element forces are
recommended to be drawn in this mode also.
Moment
Shell element moments are appropriate to draw in this mode.
Crow's Foot
Draws a plot of three vectors on a shell element (known as a Crow’s
foot plot). Any three vectors can be chosen, however this mode is
typically used to review in-plane loads on a shell element.
Select a display option for the tensor head from the second Draw mode drop-down
menu.
Arrow - Displays the tensor as an arrow.
None - Displays the tensor as a straight
line.
Note: Not applicable if Crow's Foot is selected.
The options are automatically applied to the model as you enter
information.
