The View menu has the following options:
Default screen output
During simulation, the geometry of fractures and tunnels etc. will be automatically shown on the screen. The picture will be updated after each calculation cycle to trace any fracture propagation. In this way the whole process of fracture propagation can be monitored. In the screen plot, fractures are plotted with different colours to show the state of the fractures, i.e. elastic contact, sliding or open. The default fracture colour is:
Blue - elastic fracture
Green - sliding fracture
Red - open fracture.
The colour can be changed by users in view/plots setup.
The magnitudes of far-field stresses are shown in the Legend plot window. Here:
Pxx - normal stress in the horizontal direction of the model
Pyy - normal stress in the vertical direction of the model
Pxy - shear stress
The magnitudes of stresses are in Pa unless specified otherwise.
