contour_plot legend modify

Allows you to modify a legend in the animation dashboard for a contoured plot of deformation, stress/strain or modal forces while in Adams Flex, Adams Vibration or Adams Durability.

The dashboard in animation mode lets you play and control time and frequency_domain animations, record them, and view contour and vector plots.

Depending on the Adams product you use to create and simulate your model, you display different types of data as contour or vector plots: deformations, stress/strain, or modal forces. Contour plots display scalar data, one component at a time, such as a stress. You can select to animate the deformations, modal forces (MFORCEs), or the stresses and strain acting on the flexible body as contour plots to better visualize a result that is defined by its position on a body.

For example, when you analyze flexible bodies using Adams Flex, you can contour deformations using Adams View or Adams PostProcessor.

In the Animation Dashboard - Contour Plots setting, you can set up the options for displaying contour_plots. For each viewport, you can change the way contour plots display colors and values. Note that this allows you to display different viewports at the same time but with different color values, which can be confusing because a color value in one viewport may not be the same as in another.
