Primary Command VIEW

  

The `VIEW' command offers the user a selection of techniques for visualisation of a model. Some of these techniques reduce picture congestion by displaying a partial representation of the finite element model. This can aid the user's appreciation of the model and, by reducing the amount of data being displayed, may allow analysis results to be more meaningfully superimposed on the picture.

Partial representation of the model can also be used to minimise redraw times whilst determining a satisfactory orientation of the model.
