/HBC
/HBC, WN
, Key
Determines how boundary condition symbols are displayed in a display
window.
WN
Window reference number. This number can be any window numbered 1 to 5, or ALL (for all active windows). Default = 1.
Key
Controls hidden-surface boundary condition display behavior:
ON, YES or 1 = Enable – Your boundary condition symbols are processed by the hidden-surface algorithm (for 2D graphics devices) and use an improved pressure-contour display (for 2D and 3D graphics devices).
OFF, NO or 0 (default) = Disable (default) – Your boundary condition symbols are not processed by the hidden-surface algorithm..
Command Default
/HBC,WN
,Off
For 2D graphics devices (such as X11, win32, and PNG), boundary condition symbols are not processed by the hidden-surface algorithm. All symbols are displayed.
For both 2D and 3D graphics devices, no enhanced rendering of pressure contours occurs.
Notes
With /HBC,WN
,ON in
effect, Mechanical APDL does not display symbols obscured by the model in the
current view (that is, symbols inside of or behind the model are not drawn). This behavior
lessens display clutter.
