Ensight -- Create Tensor Glyphs

http://www.cadfamily.com/a/CAE_FEA_CFD/Ensight/Ensight----Create-Tensor-Glyphs_6509.html

INTRODUCTION

Tensor glyphs display the direction of the eigenvectors for a tensor variable. Controls exist to show just the

compressive or tensile eigenvectors, and to selectively show the minor, middle, or major vectors.

Tensor glyphs have numerous attributes including length scale, tips, color, and line width which can be used to

indicate compression or tension.

BASIC OPERATION

1. Select the parent

parts.

2. Click the Tensor Glyph icon (by default this icon is

not displayed unless you have enabled it through

Edit > Preferences > General User Interface

3. Select the tensorvariable to use. “Modify and save icon layout”).

4. Select which

eigenvectors to display
