Description: When you choose to show the minimum or maximum locations on a contour plot, ABAQUS/CAE adds a text annotation to display the value. A symbol indicates the node or the element location where the minimum and/or maximum are located, and a line annotation connects the text and the symbol, as shown in Figure 14–17. ABAQUS/CAE also activates the legend, if it is not already active, and turns on the Show min/max values option. (If desired, you can turn the legend off again without affecting the annotations.)

The automated annotations do not appear in the Annotation Manager, and you cannot edit their position or contents. However, the text is displayed using the same font as the legend, and the symbol is the same as the node symbol (regardless of whether the legend and node symbols are displayed on the contour plot).
