Plot_IPVarDistr

Purpose

plots distribution of integration point variables of elements with sections

Synopsis

LineH = Plot_IPVarDistr (Model,ElemData,Post,Component,ElemList,UserScale)

Description

PLOT_IPVARDISTR plots distribution of integration point variables of elements with sections
  PLOT_IPVARDISTR (MODEL,ELEMDATA,POST,COMPONENT,ELEMLIST,SCALE)
  the function plots the distribution of integration point variables of elements with sections
  identified by character variable COMPONENT in the current window; plotting is limited
  to elements in ELEMLIST; the model information is available in data structure MODEL
  and the element properties in cell array ELEMDATA; post-processing information is supplied
  in data structure POST; COMPONENT is a character variable with e for section deformation
  and s for section force (Example: s(2) represents the second component of the section
  force vector, i.e. the bending moment Mz in 2d Bernoulli sections);
  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)

Cross-Reference Information
