- Figure 1 - Measure Interface
Purpose: This interface is used to make measurements of various aspects of the model and to create local coordinate systems. It is available for pre and post-processing phases. If an LS-DYNA keyword file or project file is loaded, measurements are limited to single values. If post-processing files are loaded, measured quantities wil be XY plotted. Measurements can be done in the global coordinate system (default) or optionally in a local coordinate system. Upon selecting a local coordinate system, the displacements and coordinates can be measures with respect to that coordinate system.
Controls:
- Item: Select an item to measure/Create local coordinate system
- (Coordinate, Dist N2N, Dist N2S, Dist P2P, Angle 3Node, Angle 4Node, 3Pt Radius, Area, Volume, Mass, Inertia, Ang Vel, Create Axes, Separation)
