AXES

 — 

Determines the color (specified in next argument, Clab) that the axes of a graph will be plotted in.

AXNUM

 — 

Determines the color (specified in next argument, Clab) that the numbering on the axes of a graph will be plotted in.

NUM

 — 

Discretely numbered items (such as element types, element materials, etc., as shown on the /PNUM command). Also specify number (1 to 11) in the N1 field. For example, /COLOR,NUM,RED,3 will assign the color red to all items having the discrete number 3 (material displays would show elements having material 3 as red).

OUTL

 — 

Outline of elements, areas, and volumes. Ex: /COLOR,OUTL,BLUE.

ELEM

 — 

Elements. Use N1, N2, NINC fields for element numbers.

LINE

 — 

Solid model lines. Use N1, N2, NINC fields for line numbers.

AREA

 — 

Solid model areas. Use N1, N2, NINC fields for area numbers.

VOLU

 — 

Solid model volumes. Use N1, N2, NINC fields for volume numbers.

ISURF

 — 

Isosurfaces (surfaces of constant stress, etc.). This option is particularly useful when capturing frames for animating a single isosurface value.

WBAK

 — 

Window background. Use N1, N2, NINC fields for window numbers. The options that you select using Lab = PBAK will supersede those applied using Lab = WBAK.

b.c.label

 — 

Boundary condition label. Enter U, ROT, TEMP, PRES, V, VOLT, MAG, A, EMF, CURR, F, M, HEAT, FLOW, VF, AMPS, FLUX, CSG, CURT, MAST, CP, CE, NFOR, NMOM, RFOR, RMOM, PATH. See the /PBC command for boundary condition label definitions.

GRBAK

 — 

Graph background.

GRID

 — 

Graph grid lines.

AXLAB

 — 

Graph X and Y axis labels.

CURVE

 — 

Graph curves (identify curve numbers (1-10) in N1, N2, NINC fields).

CM

 — 

Component group. Use N1 field for component name, ignore N2 and NINC.

CNTR

 — 

Mechanical APDL contour stress colors. The maximum number of contours available is 128. The number of colors that can be specified interactively (GUI) is 9. (/CONTOUR, , 9). Any other setting will yield inconsistent results.

SMAX

 — 

Specifies that all stress values above the maximum value entered in /CONTOUR will be displayed in the color designated in the Clab field. Defaults to dark grey.

SMIN

 — 

Specifies that all stress values below the minimum value entered in /CONTOUR will be displayed in the color designated in the Clab field. Defaults to dark grey.

PBAK

 — 

Activates background shading options (see command syntax at end of argument descriptions below). The options that you select using Lab = PBAK will supersede those applied using Lab = WBAK.
