Products: ABAQUS/CAE ABAQUS/Viewer
Benefits: You can use mirrors and patterns to create images of a complete model based on analysis of a representative portion of the model. You can produce complete images for reports or presentations without extensive postprocessing.
Description: You can use a rectangular pattern, a circular pattern, and mirrors to display copies of analysis results in a viewport. Copying results within the Visualization module allows you to visualize a complete symmetric model without the expense of analyzing the entire model. Use the following options to control the copying of results in the viewport:
To mirror results:
Select a mirror coordinate system, and select the planes to be used as mirrors. Choose whether display bodies are mirrored along with the analysis results.
To pattern results:
Select a pattern coordinate system. Select a number and offset distance in each direction to define a rectangular pattern; and select an axis, number of copies, and total angle to define a circular pattern. You can define both a rectangular and a circular pattern for the same results.
