Plots in APDL

[SuG89]

Hello everyone,

Please see the attached image. I am using the batch file option to create such plots. Anyone knows why the plot is turning out distorted?

/SHOW,TIFF,,0
TIFF,COMP,1
TIFF,ORIENT,HORIZ
TIFF,COLOR,2
TIFF,TMOD,1
/GFILE,1200,
/REPLOT
/SHOW,CLOSE

Best regards,

It doesn't get distorted if I use full graphics instead of power graphics (see attached image). But I want to use power graphics as it takes care of averaging nodal data at material discontinuities.

Looks like these are 2D elements and you might have the thicknesses turned on. Try "ESHAPE, off" and then "REPLOT" to see if that makes things look better.

Hi Chris,

It was a shading problem. I changed '/SHADE,ALL,1' to '/SHADE,ALL,0' (or '/SHADE,ALL,2'). It works fine now.
