Plot_2dCurvDistr

Purpose

plot curvature distribution of 2d linear elastic frame elements

Synopsis

Plot_2dCurvDistr (Model,ElemData,Post,ElemList,UserScale)

Description

PLOT_2dCURVDISTR plot curvature distribution of 2d linear elastic frame elements    
  PLOT_2dCURVDISTR (MODEL,ELEMDATA,POST,ELEMLIST,USERSCALE)
  the function plots in the current window the curvature distribution for 2d linear elastic
  frame elements in ELEMLIST for the structural model in data structure MODEL;
  the cell array ELEMDATA carries information about element properties and loading;
  POST is either the vector of basic forces Q, or
  a cell array with post-processing information for the basic element forces in POST.ELEM{el}.Q;
  the optional row vector ELEMLIST contains the numbers of elements to include for plotting,
  e.g. [1:4 7 9] selects elements 1 through 4, 7 and 9;
  the optional scalar argument USERSCALE is a magnification factor for the diagram (default=1)
