hotspots display

Allows you to display hotspots. Hot spots are locations of high stress or strain on a flexible body or rigid stress object. You can easily locate and view hot-spot information during animation displays in the Adams PostProcessor. When the Adams Durability plugin is loaded, a Hot Spots tab is available on the Adams PostProcessor dashboard for Animation displays. This tab allows you to define the hot spots and control their display.
Hot-spot information is derived from the data that is generated and cached for a flexible body (or rigid stress object) during contour animations. This allows the display and control of hot-spot information to be completely interactive.
Hot spot visualization is currently supported for durability-type contours, such as stress, strain, or fatigue. Deformations are not supported.
