key
Edge key:
0 - Display common lines between all adjacent element faces.
1 - Display only the common lines between non-coplanar faces (that is, show only
the edges).
angle
Largest angle between two faces for which the faces are considered
to be coplanar (0° to 180°). Defaults to 45°. A smaller angle
produces more edges, a larger angle produces fewer edges.
Notes
-----
The ANGLE field is used in PowerGraphics to determine geometric
discontinuities. It is a tolerance measure for the differences between
the normals of the surfaces being considered. Values within the
tolerance are accepted as coplanar (geometrically continuous). In
postprocessing displays, results are not averaged across discontinuous
surfaces.
A surface can be displayed as an edge outline without interior detail.
This is useful for both geometry and postprocessing displays. Element
outlines are normally shown as solid lines for geometry and
displacement displays. Lines common to adjacent "coplanar" element
faces are removed from the display. Midside nodes of elements are
ignored.
The /SHRINK option is ignored with the edge option.
/EDGE is not supported for PLESOL and /ESHAPE displays when in
PowerGraphics mode (/GRAPHICS,POWER).
The /EDGE command is valid in any processor.

display of shell elements (valid for SHELL181,
SHELL208, SHELL209, and SHELL281). This value is the
default.
* 1 - Use initial thickness in the displaced solid shape
display of shell elements.
Notes
-----
The /ESHAPE command allows beams, shells, current sources, and
certain special-purpose elements to be displayed as solids
with the shape determined from the real constants or section
types. Elements are displayed via the EPLOT command. No checks
for valid or complete input are made for the display.
Following are details about using this command with various
element types:
SOLID65 elements are displayed with internal lines that
represent rebar sizes and orientations (requires vector mode
[/DEVICE] with a basic type of display [/TYPE,,BASIC]). The
rebar with the largest volume ratio in each element plots as a
red line, the next largest as green, and the smallest as blue.
COMBIN14, COMBIN39, and MASS21 are displayed with a graphics
icon, with the offset determined by the real constants and
KEYOPT settings.
BEAM188, BEAM189, PIPE288, PIPE289 and ELBOW290 are displayed
as solids with the shape determined via the section-definition
commands (SECTYPE and SECDATA). The arbitrary section option
(Subtype = ASEC) has no definite shape and appears as a thin
rectangle to show orientation. The elements are displayed with
internal lines representing the cross- section mesh.
SOLID272 and SOLID273 are displayed as solids with the shape
determined via the section-definition commands (SECTYPE and
SECDATA). The 2-D master plane is revolved around the
prescribed axis of symmetry.
Contour plots are available for these elements in
postprocessing for PowerGraphics only (/GRAPHICS,POWER). To
view 3-D deformed shapes for the elements, issue OUTRES,MISC
or OUTRES,ALL for static or transient analyses. To view 3-D
mode shapes for a modal or eigenvalue buckling analysis,
expand the modes with element results calculation ON (Elcalc =
YES for MXPAND).
SOURC36, CIRCU124, and TRANS126 elements always plot using
/ESHAPE when PowerGraphics is activated (/GRAPHICS,POWER).
In most cases, /ESHAPE renders a thickness representation of
your shell, plane and layered elements more readily in
PowerGraphics (/GRAPHICS,POWER). This type of representation
employs PowerGraphics to generate the enhanced representation,
and will often provide no enhancement in Full Graphics
(/GRAPHICS,FULL). This is especially true for POST1 results
displays, where /ESHAPE is not supported for most element
types with FULL graphics.
When PowerGraphics is active, /ESHAPE may degrade the image if
adjacent elements have overlapping material, such as shell
elements which are not co-planar. Additionally, if adjacent
elements have different thicknesses, the polygons depicting
the connectivity between the "thicker" and "thinner" elements
along the shared element edges may not always be displayed.
For POST1 results displays (such as PLNSOL), the following
limitations apply:
Rotational displacements for beam elements are used to create
a more realistic displacement display. When /ESHAPE is active,
displacement plots (via PLNSOL,U,X and PLDISP, for example)
may disagree with your PRNSOL listings. This discrepancy will
become more noticeable when the SCALE value is not equal to
one.
When shell elements are not co-planar, the resulting PLNSOL
display with /ESHAPE will actually be a PLESOL display as the
non-coincident pseudo-nodes are not averaged. Additionally,
/ESHAPE should not be used with coincident elements because
the plot may incorrectly average the displacements of the
coincident elements.
When nodes are initially coincident and PowerGraphics is
active, duplicate polygons are eliminated to conserve display
time and disk space. The command may degrade the image if
initially coincident nodes have different displacements. The
tolerance for determining coincidence is 1E-9 times the
model’s bounding box diagonal.
If you want to view solution results (PLNSOL, etc.) on layered
elements (such as SHELL181, SOLSH190, SOLID185 Layered Solid,
SOLID186 Layered Solid, SHELL208, SHELL209, SHELL281, and
ELBOW290), set KEYOPT(8) = 1 for the layer elements so that
the data for all layers is stored in the results file.
You can plot the through-thickness temperatures of elements
SHELL131 and SHELL132 regardless of the thermal DOFs in use by
issuing the PLNSOL,TEMP command (with PowerGraphics and
/ESHAPE active).
The /ESHAPE,1 and /ESHAPE,FAC commands are incompatible with
the /CYCEXPAND command used in cyclic symmetry analyses.
This command is valid in any processor.

in the global Cartesian system origin. Defaults to the viewing
direction [/VIEW].
refl
Light reflectance factor (valid only for NUM = 1 and 3-D devices).
Notes
-----
Defines the light direction for the window. Use this command only with
3-D graphics devices or 2-D devices when Z-buffering is used [/TYPE,,(6
or 7)]. The ambient light has no direction, only an intensity. You
can position the directional light source by defining a point (in the
global Cartesian coordinate system) representing a point along the
light directional line. This point, and the global Cartesian
coordinate system origin, define the line along which the light is
positioned looking toward the origin. You can use any point along the
light line; for example, both (1.,1.,1.) and (2.,2.,2.) give the same
light effect. For 3-D graphics devices only, the directional light
source also has intensity and reflectance factors.
By choosing the highest intensity ambient light for 3-D graphics
devices (via the command /LIGHT,WN,0,1), you can nullify color shading
and other effects of directional lighting.
This command is valid in any processor.

Parameters
----------

type_
Display type. Defaults to `ZBUF` for raster mode displays or `BASIC`
for vector mode displays:
BASIC or 0
Basic display (no hidden or section operations).
SECT or 1
Section display (plane view). Use the `/CPLANE` command to
define the cutting plane.
HIDC or 2
Centroid hidden display (based on item centroid sort).
HIDD or 3
Face hidden display (based on face centroid sort).
HIDP or 4
Precise hidden display (like `HIDD` but with more precise checking).
Because all facets are sorted, this mode can be extremely slow,
especially for large models.
CAP or 5
Capped hidden display (same as combined `SECT` and `HIDD` with
model in front of section plane removed).
ZBUF or 6
Z-buffered display (like `HIDD` but using software Z-buffering).
ZCAP or 7
Capped Z-buffered display (same as combined `SECT` and `ZBUF`
with model in front of section plane removed).
ZQSL or 8
`QSLICE` Z-buffered display (same as `SECT` but the edge lines
of the remaining 3D model are shown).
HQSL or 9
`QSLICE` precise hidden display (like `ZQSL` but using precise hidden).
Notes
-----
**Command Default:** `ZBUF` for raster mode displays; `BASIC` for vector
mode displays.
Defines the type of display, such as section display or hidden-line
display. Use the `/DEVICE` command to specify either raster or
vector mode.
The `SECT`, `CAP`, `ZCAP`, `ZQSL`, and `HQSL` options produce section
displays. The section or "cutting" plane is specified on the `/CPLANE `
command as either normal to the viewing vector at the focus point
(default), or as the working plane.
When you use PowerGraphics, the section display options (`Section`,
`Slice`, and `Capped`) use different averaging techniques for the
interior and exterior results. Because of the different averaging
schemes, anomalies may appear at the transition areas. In many cases,
the automatically computed `MIN` and `MAX` values will differ from the
full range of interior values. You can lessen the effect of these
anomalies by issuing` AVRES,,FULL` (Main Menu> General Post Proc>
Options for Outp). This command sets your legend's automatic contour
interval range according to the minimum and maximum results found
throughout the entire model.
With PowerGraphics active (`/GRAPHICS,POWER`), the averaging scheme for
surface data with interior element data included (`AVRES,,FULL`) and
multiple facets per edge (`/EFACET,2` or `/EFACET,4`) will yield
differing minimum and maximum contour values depending on the Z-
Buffering options (`/TYPE,,6` or `/TYPE,,7`). When the Section data is
not included in the averaging schemes (`/TYPE,,7`), the resulting
absolute value for the midside node is significantly smaller.
The `HIDC`, `HIDD`, `HIDP`, `ZBUF`, `ZQSL`, and `HQSL` options produce
displays with "hidden" lines removed. Hidden lines are lines obscured
from view by another element, area, etc. The choice of non-Z-buffered
hidden-line procedure types is available only for raster mode
(`/DEVICE`) displays. For vector mode displays, all non-Z-buffered
"hidden-line" options use the same procedure (which is slightly
different from the raster procedures). Both geometry and postprocessing
displays may be of the hidden- line type. Interior stress contour lines
within solid elements can also be removed as hidden lines, leaving only
the stress contour lines and element outlines on the visible surfaces.
Midside nodes of elements are ignored on postprocessing displays.
Overlapping elements will not be displayed.
The `ZBUF`, `ZCAP`, and `ZQSL` options use a specific hidden-line
technique called software Z-buffering. This technique allows a more
accurate display of overlapping surfaces (common when using Boolean
operations or `/ESHAPE` on element displays), and allows smooth shaded
displays on all interactive graphics displays. Z-buffered displays can
be performed faster than `HIDP` and `CAP` type displays for large
models. See also the `/LIGHT`, `/SHADE`, and `/GFILE` commands for
additional options when Z-buffering is used.
This command is valid in any processor.

Parameters
----------
lab
Apply translucency level to the items specified by the following
labels:
ELEM - Elements. Use N1, N2, NINC fields for element numbers.
AREA - Solid model areas. Use N1, N2, NINC fields for area numbers.
VOLU - Solid model volumes. Use N1, N2, NINC fields for volume numbers.
ISURF - Isosurfaces (surfaces of constant stress, etc., value). Translucency varies
with result value, to a maximum of the specified
translucency level.
CM - Component group. Use N1 for component name, ignore N2 and NINC.
CURVE - Filled areas under curves of line graphs. Use N1, N2, NINC fields for curve
numbers.
ZCAP - If /TYPE,WN,ZCAP is the current display type, then /TRLCY,ZCAP,TLEVEL will
display the model in window WN with the portion of the model
in front of the section plane displayed at the translucency
level TLEVEL.
ON, OFF - Sets the specified translucency display on or off. All other fields are
ignored.
tlevel
Translucency level: 0.0 (opaque) to 1.0 (transparent).
n1, n2, ninc
Used only with labels as noted above. Apply translucency level to
Lab items numbered N1 to N2 (defaults to N1) in steps of NINC
(defaults to 1). If N1 is blank or ALL, apply specified
translucency level to entire selected range. If Lab is CM, use
component name for N1 and ignore N2 and NINC. A value of N1 = P
allows you to graphically pick elements, areas, and volumes. You
can then assign translucency levels to the entities via the picker.
The Lab and TLEVEL fields are ignored when translucency is applied
by picking.
Notes
-----
Specifies the level of translucency for various items. Issue
/TRLCY,DEFA to reset the default (0) translucency levels. This command
is valid only on selected 2-D and 3-D graphics devices; see in the
Basic Analysis Guide for more information on applying translucency.
For 2-D devices, ANSYS displays only the visible faces of the items
being displayed. The information behind the facing planes is not
displayed. Issuing the /SHRINK command will force the hardware to
display information behind the translucent items.
