FEM PostPipelineFromResult

* You need a valid result object in the, such as .

Description
Pipeline is a result object, which creates a new graphical representation of FEM analysis results on the analysed part. It adds color scale and more display options.

Usage

 * 1) Select a result object
 * 2) Click [[Image:FEM_PostPipelineFromResult.svg|24px]] button, or click on menu . A new object called "Pipeline" will be added to your analysis.
 * 3) Double-click the new Pipeline object in the tree view and select a display mode and the result field. For example for the mode Surface and the field Von Mises stress the pipeline will look like this:

If you see no model in the graphical area, go to and enable.

Properties
This pipeline dialog has the following settings:
 * Mode: How to draw the results. The possible modes are
 * Outline: The outline of the result mesh. In fact is displays no results but only the borders of the mesh
 * Nodes: The result mesh nodes
 * Surface: This is the default and displays the surface of the result mesh.
 * Surface with Edges: Like Surface but with the mesh outline edges and the surface mesh node connection lines.
 * Field: Which result property to draw
 * Vector: Is only active if the Field is a vector. You can select whether to display the vector Magnitude or its X, Y, Z components.

If you double-click the scale, you get this settings dialog: and can modify these properties:
 * Gradient: You can select reversed order of the default color gradient or either Black-White or White-Black.
 * Parameter range: Minimum and maximum values are filled-in automatically, when you select a property to evaluate on the object; you can modify them, however make sure you know what you are doing. You can also amend number of displayed labels and number of decimal places to be displayed.

Limitations
Note that the Pipeline representation of the results (called VTK) on the displayed part is different from the color gradient results which are visible when you finish solution. Values in the gradient scale cannot be applied to the solution result object.
