| Command | Description | Page |
| acceleration | Plot contours of accelerations (dynamic problems only). | 308 |
| contour | Plot contours of the degrees of freedom; e.g. displacements in mechanics problems. | 318 |
| displacement | Plot displacement vectors at each node. | 321 |
| dplot | Plot displacement components along a mouse defined section cut (2-D only). | 323 |
| mesh | Plot the mesh; after the use of the deformed command, this command will plot a deformed mesh. | 340 |
| velocity | Plot contours of velocities (dynamic problems only). | 373 |
| Command | Description | Page |
| eigelement | Plot eigenvectors for last element in mesh | 324 |
| eigvector/alue | Plot eigenvectors and eigenvalues after an eigenvalue solution has been performed in the Macro phase; you must issue deformed to see the eigenvectors/modes. | 325 |
| Command | Description | Page |
| color | Set postscript output to color | 317 |
| postscript | Send plotting output to a postscript file. A second issuance closes the output file. Note, a new file is opened every other issuance. | 352 |
| Command | Description | Page |
| axis | Plot coordinate axes on the screen. | 309 |
| boundary | Plot non-zero boundary codes. | 312 |
| elements | Plot element numbers. | 326 |
| fill | Plot the mesh filling each different material with a different color. | 330 |
| load | Plot nodal force vectors. This command does not plot forced Dirichlet values; it only plots forced Neumann values. | 336 |
| mesh | Plot the mesh. | 340 |
| node | Plot nodes and node numbers. | 341 |
| outline | Plot an outline of the mesh. | 344 |
| pnode | Print node number of node closest to mouse location | 351 |
| Command | Description | Page |
| estress | Plot contours of element stresses (no smoothing). | 327 |
| praxis | Plot the triad of principal axes at each node. | 353 |
| pstress | Plot contours of principal stresses and angles; all plots are smoothed. | 357 |
| reactions | Plot reaction vectors at nodes. | 359 |
| splot | Plot stress components along a mouse defined section cut (2-D only). | 367 |
| stress | Plot contours of stresses (smoothed). | 368 |
| Command | Description | Page |
| cartesian | Switch to plotting with a Cartesian view. This turns off {\tt pers}pective view and is the default plotting mode. | 313 |
| center | Move center of plot region on screen. | 314 |
| default | toggles whether on not FEAP uses default values for plotting ranges. By setting default,off FEAP will prompt you for plotting ranges. default,on resets FEAP to compute default values. | 319 |
| deformed | Execute all plotting commands on a deformed geometry -- allows for the scaling of deformation. | 320 |
| frame | Set the quadrant of the plot window in which subsequent plotting operations will take place. (Divides the main plot window into 4 quadrants) | 331 |
| hide | Plot the mesh using hidden line removal. Also activates hidden line removal for subsequent plotting commands. | 332 |
| mark | Set marks at the location of the maximum and minimum values for the current plot | 338 |
| material | Restrict plots to specified material set numbers. | 339 |
| perspective | Set the perspective viewpoint and ``vertical vector". After issuance plots are shown in a perspective view. The {\tt cart}esian command deactivates this feature. | 348 |
| pick | Select a portion of the mesh for plotting with the mouse. | 350 |
| quadrant | Select active quadrants when using the symmerty command | 358 |
| symmetry | Set plotting to reflect across symmetry planes | 369 |
| undeformed | Execute all plotting commands on an undeformed geometry. This is the default mode. | 372 |
| wipe | Wipe clear the plotting window or a selected quadrant. | 375 |
| window | Toggle between the three windows on the Window95/NT version | 374 |
| zoom | Set plotting area between two specified nodes. If no nodes are specified set plotting area to entire mesh. | 376 |
