Parameter
Value Type
Description
force_scale
Real
Specify the default size of the force scale to be used for the force graphics.
torque_scale
Real
Specify the default size of the torque scale to be used for the force graphics
display_text
Yes/No
Specify whether text has to be displayed by default in the force graphics
decimal_places
Integer
Specify how many places are written after the decimal point for force graphics text. The default value is 4.
display_wireframe
Yes/No
Specify whether wireframe has to be displayed by default in the force graphics
always_in_front
Yes/No
Specify if you want Adams View to show force graphics in the foreground of the model so model geometry does not obscure them.

Extended Definition:

1. The scale value will have a multiplicative effect on the current size of the force graphics. For example, a scale value of 0.25 will make the force graphics appear one-fourth as large. A scale value of 2.0 will make the force graphics appear twice as large.
