Symbols used in the Visualization module¶
Special graphical symbols are used by Abaqus/CAE in the Visualization module.
Table 1 presents the special graphical symbols used by the Visualization module. These special symbols appear when you produce an undeformed, deformed, contour, or symbol plot of a model containing any of these components. For information on customizing the color and size of these symbols, see Coloring all geometry in the Visualization module and Controlling the display of model entities, respectively.
Table 1: Special graphical symbols used by the Visualization module.
![]() | Two-node dashpot elementsThe Visualization module displays two-node dashpot elements using the symbol shown. You can choose to display a straight line in place of this symbol by selectingExtra coarse refinement for all curved edges and faces in your model. For more information, seeRefining curved edges and faces. |
| Two-node spring elementsThe Visualization module displays two-node spring elements using the symbol shown. You can customize the appearance of the curves in this symbol using the options for refining curved edges and faces. The Visualization module displays a two-node spring element as a straight line when you selectExtra coarse refinement for all curved edges and faces in your model. For more information, seeRefining curved edges and faces. | |
![]() | Reference nodesThe Visualization module displays the reference node for a rigid surface as a cross. You cannot customize the shape of this symbol. |
| [S7KD] | Tracer particlesThe Visualization module displays a tracer particle as a cross within a square. You cannot customize the shape of this symbol. |
In addition to the special symbols the Visualization module uses to display the model components listed above, you can choose to display symbols representing results, model entities (boundary conditions, connectors, coordinate systems, and point elements), and nodal locations. For more information, see the following sections:
Plotting analysis results as symbols
Controlling the display of model entities
Controlling the display of constraints in the Visualization module
Customizing node symbols
Element and output variable support¶
Most Abaqus elements are supported in the Visualization module, with the following limitations:
• User-defined normals are not supported for gasket elements.
• Slide line elements applied to asymmetric-axisymmetric models are always displayed in the =0° plane, regardless of the specified for the element.
Swept contour plots of CAXA elements may include colors that do not represent the current state at the nodes. Use of two Fourier modes improves the appearance, but for best results print the integration point values using Report->Field Output.
See What kinds of elements must be generated outside the Mesh module?, for a description of element support in the Mesh module of Abaqus/CAE.
Table 1 and Table 2 list the output variables that are not supported by the Visualization module or the output database.
