Problem with test dynamics example

[tuyet]

Thanks for new version.

Your program works now.  However there are still some following errors:
1. In input file we use:
         plot,wipe
         plot,defo,1,1 ! Plot on deformed conf.
         plot,fill ! Plot filled mesh
         plot,unde,,1 ! Plot on undefor. conf
         plot,outl ! Plot outlined mesh

--> feappv appears an error on screen:
  **ERROR** No 3d-Outline
      Feappv can show only the new deformation shape, and cannot show the undefomation shape.

2. After solving the problem, I use the command: plot mesh
    Then Feappv is interrupted immediately.

Thanks for find another error.  I have verified the error and will issue a patch shortly.

The "ERROR" message is informing you that FEAPpv does not have 3-d outline capability, only FEAP has this feature.  We will make the message clearer.

[Prof. R.L. Taylor]

An error existed in xcompp.f in the plot directory.  Try replacing with the attached file and rerun problems to see if all errors are now corrected.

Also instead of plot outl you could use plot mesh and at least follow where the deformed position is.

Thank you very much for the file.  With your file Feappv works now with plot undefo + plot mesh.   However I cannot plot elem.  The program is interrupted again at line 110 in pltord.f.

[Prof. R.L. Taylor]

All the problems you are finding relate to the flag we set for element faces that are not visible.  For this array we set the material number to be negative.  You are locating places where the material number is negative but we do not ignore the element.  The current one is in 'pltelm.f' which is located in both the /unix and the /windows directories.  Attached is the corrected one for the /windows directory.  The but is in the /unix one too and you can correct in the same way as in the attached file.

Note the bug is in FEAP too and needs to be corrected in the same two directories.

If you are in perspective view, the element numbers printed will be face numbers that we construct and have nothing to do with the real element numbers you described.

Thank you very much for the file and your explanation.  Feappv works fine  now.
