Results View Productivity

Results View Productivity

It seems like when changing settings on the results view, any time you make a change you need to re-display the view. This is especially frustrating as changing some of the parameters seems to reset others.

 

Here is a typical example of my workflow:

  1. Set the display stress limits then apply the changes.
  2. Re-display the results.
  3. I decide I want to limit the parts I'm looking at, so I make that change in the results parameter dialog.
  4. Re-display the results.
  5. Doing this has cleared the stress limits I earlier set, so I make that change in the results parameter dialog.
  6. Re-display the results.

Changing results view parameters should not cancel the view from being displayed, or at least it should re-display the view automatically (if you were in that view when you entered the Edit dialog).  Additionally, settings shouldn't just change automatically when you make other changes in the results view.

I'm surprised this suggestion is not getting more votes. It's very frustrating working with the results with the constant re-displaying you have to do and re-setting things you have already set.

Would it be possible to merge the two methods of controlling results display? At the moment, the two methods ("Options" and "the wheel") are competing on some of the settings, but not all. This would be a good improvement.

This is important.  Just a couple other things.  Can we get ksi for units instead of psi?  I don't think many people use psi for stress in steel structures.

 

Once I set the options to how I like to view things can we have an option to keep it that way?  It keeps changing for seemingly no reason and every analysis I have to re-set it to my preferences.  We need to be able to set preferences in this permanently.  For example, I always want to see fringed view etc.

I'm constantly having to reset these settings, and what makes it even worse is the incredibly unbelievably slow response of the user interface and graphics updates withing the Nastran Incad environment.

Hi,

Please improve the plot options. Many good ideas have proposed, in numerous "idea postings". This has been in review since 2019.

 

Features missing:

* Ability to set personal defaults

* sticky settings (settings reset to a poor default set every time)

* two competing places to set options

* Improve text size/colour settings

 

Improving this will save lifetimes of tedious work, changing the same settings for every analysis run.
