1. Select range type (Min/Max values need to be entered for User and Show)
2. Select entities to be used for fringe viewing
3. Enable/Disable extra options
4. Enter number min/max entities to show in top left
5. Select/Enter number of fringe levels to be used.
How to set the fringe color palette
1. Click Palette to open color palette
2. Select Max and use slider to set value
3. Select Min and use slider to set value
4. Select between hue / gray for palette color
5. Click Apply to store changes in database file
How to show active minima and maxima
1. Apply a fringe component to the model
2. Open Fringe Range interface
3. Check Show active min/max
4. Click Zin
5. Define area in drawing area
(Note: to be able to zoom in Show active min/max must be unchecked)
Figure 1 – Range Interface
Purpose:
Use this interface to set fringe and Iso-surface ranges.
Controls:
Dynamic – A set of min/max ranges is computed for each time state
Static – A constant min/max range is computed using all time states
User – Range set by user, enter min/max values below
Show – Show elements within the range entered below
Entire Model – Range computed for entire model
Active Part only – Range computed for active parts only
Active Elements only – Range computed for active elements only
Assign
Assign current range to user min/max
Avg: Element to node averaging scheme
None – Fringe with element values
Nodal – Fringe with nodal values
MinMax – Fringe with average (mean) of Min and Max element values attached to a node. This shows gradients better than with pure averaging (which tends to smooth the gradient).
Unblk
Unblank elements that are blanked out of range
Palette – Reverse the fringe color palette
Blank range – Blank all elements with values outside the user defined range
Show active min/max – Show min and max values for region – use Zin to define
Ident Min – Identify first N minimum values
Max – Identify first N maximum values
No. min/max entities: Enter number of min/max values to be identified (N)
Lower – Set Limit fringe color map to lower user range
Upper – set limit fringe color map to upper user range
Set Iso Range – Set Isosurface range values independently
Level: Select or enter number of color in the fringe palette
