Syntax
*deformedshape title undeformed_color deformed_color scale_factor hidden_line full_size
Type
HyperMesh Tcl Modify
Description
Creates a deformed shape plot from results data. The results file must be loaded before executing this command. The *freesimulation command clears the plot.
Inputs
- title
- The title to use for the plot.
- undeformed_color
- The color used to plot the undeformed shape. Valid values are 1 through 64.
- -1 - Uses the elements color.
- 0 - Uses the background color.
- deformed_color
- The color used to plot the deformed shape. Valid values are 1 through 64.
- -1 - Uses the elements color.
- 0 - Uses the background color.
- scale_factor
- The maximum deflection in model units to which the results should be scaled.
- hidden_line
- This argument is no longer supported and is ignored.
- full_size
- Determines whether the deformed plot fills the entire screen. Valid values are:
- 0 - Use normal size.
- 1 - Use full screen. Press a mouse button to return.
Examples
To load the result file named C:/my_results/test.res and generate a
deformed plot for Subcase 1 with Displacements data type, an undeformed mesh color of the
elements, a deformed mesh color of red, and normal plot

Errors
Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To
detect errors, you can use the catch
command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
# Handle error
