Good day,
For an overview of the anchor cable forces, I would like to clearly represent them graphically in the GUI or in print; unfortunately, I cannot find a way to display the result values in the middle of the cable, but only at the start or end node. I suspect this is because tension rods always consist of only one FE (Finite Element) element with a start and end node, so no value is output in between since there is no calculated node there. However, it would be desirable to display the force in the middle of the cable/rod since several cables are sometimes fixed at one anchor point:
I think this picture gives more insight into how confusing the whole thing becomes.
The only setting I found was based on:
What bothers me here, however, is that I cannot display the cables with different levels of stress in different colors:
Even though the control panel on the right assigns certain colors to specific normal forces, the graphic does not reflect this.
I would be very pleased to receive feedback on how I could cleverly solve this.
Best regards,
Nick Böttcher
