To View Snap-through in Results
To view the results for a nonlinear large deformation analysis that shows snap-through behavior:
1. Click on the Analyses and Design Studies dialog box. The Result Window Definition dialog box opens.
2. Select Graph from the Display Type list.
3. Select Measure from the Graph Ordinate (Vertical) Axis list.
4. Click to open the Measures dialog box.
5. Select one of the displacement measures from the Predefined measures list. If your analysis has prescribed displacements, select a force or reaction measure.
6. Click OK.
7. Click OK and Show on the Result Window Definition dialog. The graph of the displacement measure against the applied load is displayed. See Example: Results with Snap-through in Large Deformation Analysis for an example of a snap-through result.
