Available settings:
Nodes group
•Nodes: Shows/Hides the Nodes
•Numbering: Shows/Hides the Nodes' numbering
•Use A,B,C,D: If checked, the numbering of Nodes is not numerical but with the letters A, B, C, etc, like Excel columns numbering. This is useful to distinguish between the numbering of Nodes and Elements. By default, in EngiLab Truss.2D Nodes are numbered with letters A, B, C, and Elements are numbered with numbers, but the user can change these settings.
•Constraints: Shows/Hides the Constraints (Supports)
•X-Coordinate: Shows/Hides the X-Coordinate of the Node
•Y-Coordinate: Shows/Hides the Y-Coordinate of the Node
•Springs: Shows/Hides the Springs
•Spring values: Shows/Hides the Spring stiffness values
Elements group
•Elements: Shows/Hides the Elements (lines)
•Numbering: Shows/Hides the Elements' numbering
•Use A,B,C,D: If checked, the numbering of Elements is not numerical but with the letters A, B, C, etc, like Excel columns numbering.
•Orientation: Shows/Hides the Elements' orientation (arrow)
•Material: Shows/Hides the Elements' Material
•Section: Shows/Hides the Elements' Section
•Length: Shows/Hides the Elements' length
•Angle: Shows/Hides the Elements' angle
•Line width: The user sets the width of the Elements (lines) on screen
Nodal Loads
•Nodal Loads: Shows/Hides the Nodal Loads
•Values: Shows/Hides the values of the Nodal Loads
• Resultant force / FX and FY: In case of FX and FY Nodal force on a Node, the user selects if the Resultant force will be drawn (as a single vector) or of both vectors FX and FY will be drawn.
Elemental Loads
•Elemental Loads: Shows/Hides the Elemental Loads
•Values: Shows/Hides the values of the Elemental Loads
Acceleration
•Acceleration vector: Shows/Hides the Acceleration vector
•Acceleration values: Shows/Hides the Acceleration aX, aY values
•Show Model Units on drawing: The user selects whether units will be shown on the drawing, for example if a force will appears as simply "10" or "10 kN/m" in case the load is 10 and the unit used is kN/m.
