Linear Elasticity Solver exaggerate displacements

Post by Takala »

Hello,

Sometimes it would be nice to visualize very small displacements by exaggerating them (that is multiplying them with some constant).

What is the easiest way to do this?

In ElmerGUI one can write with MATC nodes=nodes+Displacement*constant. I guess that would be the easiest. However, sometimes paraview is used and it would be nice to have something similar to that as well. Should there be, and maybe there is allready, a keyword like "Displacement Visual Exaggeration Coefficient", which would do the job once and for all.

What do you think? Please tell me if such a feature exists already.

Cheers,

Eelis

Hi Eelis

In Paraview there is the filter "Warp By Vector" which eats a "Scale Factor". I think this could pretty much solve your problem.
