How to adjust the view angle of the result graph

[WANGJIANHUI]

Dear FEAP's Admin
I am making a 3D solid plate model to solve its modal problem. However, the diagram output by FEAP program has only one angle view, so the vibration effect diagram of the plate can not be seen at all. I want to ask how to adjust the view angle of the output drawing?

Attached are my input files and generated graphics.

You can set the perspective view with the PERSpective command in the plot phase.  PERS lets you input a view point and an up direction.  After you run PERS you should execute HIDE to reset the hidden lines.  See the user manual, appendix E, for both commands.

There is also the EYES command which lets you do the same interactively with the mouse.

Version 8.6 has a PLOT ROTAte i_axis angle_degree - command.  If you use PLOT AXIS it shows the axis orientation  of the plot (in perspective mode).  You can rotate the plot around any axis to improve the view.  using without and nonzero parameters restores to original vies.

I'm sorry, I tried the method you mentioned, but failed. Please look at my input file below and help me make changes

[Prof. S. Govindjee]

Try something like:

Code: [Select]

BATCh
MASS
TANGent
subs,,10
EIGV,ALL,1
TOL,,1E-8
 plot pers 1
 plot hide
 PLOT MESH
 PLOT LOAD 1
 plot defo,,,1E-5,1
 plot eigv 1,,1
PVIEw,BAN760
END
0                   ! zero tells feap you are going to reset the perspective
1.1  2.0  3.0   ! these should be  the x,y,z coordinates of the view point you want
1 1 1              ! this should be a vector that you want to be up
   ! blank line to end input for pers
inte
stop

I recommed also doing things interactively the first time in order to understand what FEAP wants for input.
