This task
shows how to display a simplified representation while moving an image. |
 |
Only available with the ELFINI Structural Analysis (EST)
product. |
 |
- An image must must have been created.
- The image must be activated.
|
 |
Open the
sample26.CATAnalysis document from the samples directory.
-
Go to View > Render Style > Customize View and
make sure the Edges, Shading, Outline and Materials options
are active in the Custom View Modes dialog box.
-
Compute the solution.
To do this, click Compute
.
-
Activate an image.
In this particular example, right-click the Von Mises Stress (nodal
value) image in the specification tree and select the
Activate/Deactivate contextual menu.
|
 |
-
Click Simplified Representation
.
-
Select an image in the specification tree.
In this particular example, select the Von Mises
Stress (nodal value) image in the specification tree.
The Simplified Representation dialog box appears.

- None: no simplified representation
- Bounding box: displays the image bounding box while
moving
- Compressed: reduces the number of graphical entities
of the representation.
The Rate list lets you choose the desired degree of reduction (Low,
Medium, High).
 |
- The Compressed option is not available in the
following cases:
- This option could require significant computation time,
so the Compressed Representation status bar appears to inform
you about the progress of compression:

At any time, you can click the Cancel button to
stop the compression process.
|
|
-
Click Bounding Box.
-
Click OK.
-
Zoom, pan or rotate the image.
The bounding box representation appears as shown
below:

As soon as you release the mouse buttons, the
bounding box representation is hidden.

The current simplified representation is lost if you:

Restrictions
-
Some visualization elements are not taken into account by
the Compressed representation mode
-
Images with isolines:
Here you can find an example of isoclines:

The isolines are visible if you deactivate the
Material option in the Custom View Modes dialog box (View
> Render Style > Customize View menu).
In this case, the isolines are not taken into account
by the Compressed representation mode. |
-
The Compressed representation is not displayed
while moving in the following cases:
-
the Triangles option is activated in the
Custom View Modes dialog box (View > Render Style > Customize View
menu).
-
the Shading option is deactivated in the
Custom View Modes dialog box (View > Render Style > Customize View
menu) when visualizing a
fringe image type.
