PLF2D
PLF2D, NCONT
, OLAY
, ANUM
, WIN
Generates a contour line plot of equipotentials.
NCONT
Number of contour lines to display. Issue in multiples of 9 (that is, 9, 18, 27, etc.). Default is 27 contour lines.
OLAY
Overlay:
0
—
Overlay edge outlines by material number.
1
—
Overlay edge outlines by real constant number.
ANUM
Highest material or real constant attribute number. Command will cycle through
ANUM
element display overlays. Defaults to 10.WIN
Window number to which command applies. Defaults to 1.
Notes
PLF2D invokes a Mechanical APDL macro which plots equipotentials of the degree of freedom AZ. The equipotential lines are parallel to flux lines and thus give a good representation of flux patterns.
In the axisymmetric case, the display is actually r * AZ where r is the node radius.
The macro overlays (OLAY
) edge outlines by material number or
real constant number (ANUM
) and enables you to control the number of
contour lines to display (NCONT
).
