Attributes can also be added as subnodes to a plot to modify the plot’s behavior — Deformation (

) attributes deform a plot (to illustrate, for example, structural deformation);
Color Expression (

) attributes modify the color of a plot; and filtering to only include parts of the plot is available using the
Filter attribute (

). You can also select appropriate color tables for the plots’ color expressions based on your audience and what you plan to do with the final analysis.
Under Results (

) in the
Model Builder, right-click the
Plot Group node and select an option from the context menu to plot the graphs listed in
Table 20-10. Each plot group can have several plots combined to create a meaningful representation of the data.
When the plot type is defined, click the Plot button (

), press F8, or right-click the node and select
Plot. The plot displays in the window selected from the
Plot window list. To plot results in another window, right-click the plot group node or the plot node and select a plot window from the
Plot In submenu.
Also add attributes to 2D and 3D Plot Groups to modify the plot’s behavior if desired: Deformation (

) attributes deform a plot,
Color Expression (

) attributes modify the color of a plot, and element selection is selected using the
Filter attribute (

). A
Height Expression (

) can also be added to some 2D plots.
