Through the GUI: PlotCtrls->Style->Colors->Reverse Video.Get rid of that black or blue-blue background by changing your screen to reverse video.Here is an example for plotting 4 different mode shapes: You can use /win with the standard view commands to show results from different modes, different load steps, or if you get real clever, even different models. Get to know how to use the /ERASE, /NOERASE button for making multiple plots on a page.But if you do, pop it into Illustrator, group it and now you have a vector graphic you can scale, trim, edit and really do cool things with.If you don’t know what that is, we advice you don’t bother.This makes an encapsulated postscript file.
If you are really hard-core and you want an exact representation of you model that can be scaled, then do a /show,PSCR,8.JPG may be more common but you will find that the images can be fuzzy, especially around edges. PNG is the best choice for smaller files and high resolution.Use /SHOW,PNG to tell MAPDL to write to a PNG file when you issue plot commands.Use the /show command to output high quality graphics and skip using the pixels on your screen.MAPDL has great plotting to file abilities and you want to use those. With Paint Shop Pro having the price/performance advantage if you don’t already have Photo Shop But Adobe Photoshop and Corel Paint Shop Pro are worth the investment. If you are ultra-cheap, use the open source GIMP. You can go back to that article for the details but here are the important bits below: ANSYS Mechanical APDLįor my MAPDL plots I actually referred back to an old “The Focus” article I did in 2002.
If you don’t use MAPDL, skip on down to the ANSYS Mechanical bit. And, needing an article for this week, I thought I’d share what I found. So I brought up the original models and started playing around trying to get a better quality image, and did pretty well. And putting a picture of Angelina behind a mode plot probably won’t go over too well, or will go over too well and will distract everyone. I was looking for some new images for our web page and all of the plots I had were pretty much screen grabs. If you want to learn more about getting high quality images out of Ansys Mechanical at Ansys 2020R2 and newer, including 3D Printing your results, take a look at, “ An Update on Outputting Results from Ansys Mechanical.” This content is still good for APDL plotting, but way out of date for Ansys Mechanical.
