KTOP
Topological effect on or off (YES or NO; default is NO).
TOPOFF
Topological offset (default is .1 half screens).

Notes
ANCUT involves a Mechanical APDL macro which produces an animation of Q-slices of the last plot action command. This command operates only on graphic display platforms supporting the /SEG command. After executing ANCUT, you can replay the animated sequence by issuing the ANIM command.
The command functions only in the postprocessor.
