Odb Display¶

Odb display commands are used to store the context of an output database for a viewport.

Other Classes¶

class CommonOptions[source]¶

Bases: DGCommonOptions

The CommonOptions object stores values and attributes that are common to all plot states. The CommonOptions object has no constructor command. Abaqus creates a defaultOdbDisplay.commonOptions member when you import the Visualization module. Abaqus creates a commonOptions member when it creates the OdbDisplay object, using the values from defaultOdbDisplay.commonOptions. Abaqus creates the odbDisplay member when a viewport is created, using the values from defaultOdbDisplay. CommonOptions objects are accessed in one of two ways: - The default common options. These settings are used as defaults when other commonOptions members are created. These settings can be set to customize user preferences. - The common options associated with a particular viewport. The CommonOptions object is derived from the DGCommonOptions object.

class SymbolOptions[source]¶

Bases: DGSymbolOptions

The SymbolOptions object stores values and attributes associated with a symbol plot. The SymbolOptions object has no constructor command. Abaqus creates a defaultOdbDisplay.symbolOptions member when you import the Visualization module. Abaqus creates a symbolOptions member when it creates the OdbDisplay object, using the values from defaultOdbDisplay.symbolOptions. Abaqus creates the odbDisplay member when a viewport is created, using the values from defaultOdbDisplay. SymbolOptions objects are accessed in one of two ways: - The default symbol options. These settings are used as defaults when other symbolOptions members are created. These settings can be set to customize user preferences. - The symbol options associated with a particular viewport. The SymbolOptions object is derived from the DGSymbolOptions object.

class OdbDisplay[source]¶

Bases: object

The OdbDisplay object stores the context of an output database for a viewport. The OdbDisplay object has no constructor. Abaqus creates the defaultOdbDisplay member when you import the Visualization module. Abaqus creates the odbDisplay member when a viewport is created, using the attributes from the previous active viewport. The previous active viewport contains the attributes from the defaultOdbDisplay object for the session. The attributes from the defaultOdbDisplay object are copied from the previous active viewport to create the new viewport.

OdbDisplay objects are accessed in one of two ways: - The default output database display options. These settings are used as defaults when other odbDisplay members are created and can be set to customize user preferences. - The output database display options associated with a particular viewport.
