 Mesh Plots

The Mesh Plots option plots FEA results as color contour plots on the mesh or plots MPM results extrapolated to the background grid. Sometimes extrapolated MPM results are preferred over particle plots. For FEA results, the mesh will will plot any selected plot quantity. For MPM results, a slider can select the time to plot; other controls can run through time steps to run a mesh movie of the results. A sample mesh plots window for FEA results is shown below. More details are given in the particle plots options section.
