Simulation Report Images

Chris Chavez Nov 8, 2010 8:56 PM

I have run a static simulation on one of our components. In the chart options I have checked the "Show max annotation" indicator. When I publish the report the "max annotation is so small that I can't even read it. Also the legend does not show up on any of the plots (stress, displacement, strain or FOS). Is there a setting that I have unknowingly turned off.

Hi Chris,

I am not sure what settings you may or may not have turned on but have you gone through the Simulation Options. Under the Default Options tab you can set most of that kind of stuff up the way you want it to be displayed.

  I have checked the Simulation Options menu and there is no setting to add the legend in the report nor is there a setting for the font size of the maximum stress point label.

    Just to be sure, by legend do you mean the stress/displacement etc. scale? Do these not show up even when you view the results on your computer? You can turn them on or off in the chart options for each result plot (see picture).
    
    As far as size of the max/min annotation I do believe it is a standard size so if your model is large than it is going to be small by comparison. However, if you use the Automatic results display than the maximum stress in the scale is the maximum in the part.

      Yes that is the legend I was refering to. My settings are the same as the picture you attached. I just ran the same report on another computer and the legend and the annotation show up fine. I compared the simulation options on both machines and they are the same.

        Oh also the legend and annotation show up fine on the screen on my computer.

        So it is just something about that one computer. I cannot think of any settings that would cause this. I have had similar things happens to me when I tried to create pdf's or something. Now when I need to show a plot of some results I use the Screen Capture function and just paste it wherever it needs to go. It works great and if you are publishing to Word than you could just delete the incorrect plot and paste in a proper one to replace it. Just a thought.

        Thanks I guess I will screen capture as a work around for now. I will be loading 2011 very soon, hopefully the problem will magically go away.
