ImpressionFEA 0.8.1: Nodal / Element colouring.

  • Nodal / Element toggle next to the results list (as in SOLIDWORKS Simulation).
    • Nodal (the default) averages element values onto the nodes for smooth contours.
    • Element paints every element in one flat colour from its own value, so you can see the jumps between elements (around remeshed zones or contact edges, for example).
    • Works in the 2D section, on 3D results (including cut-away faces) and on 2D results shown in the 3D view. Images and videos follow the setting.

See 0.8.0 for grain flow, die edges and input limits, and the CHANGELOG.
