Limit stop graphics

Happy new year everybody.

We are having trouble with the graphical display of limit stops. If we have a +lim and -lim in our model then they are both displayed graphically on the same side, (ie upstream or downstream of the support point). I assume this is just a graphical bug in the system?

What build of 5.00 are you running?

I'm positive this is a graphics display (only) problem. We've got too much QA that verifies the computations for this to be anything more.

Thanks Richard. I did download the latest build and recheck that this error was still there when we discovered it as we were running the previous build.

I was 99% sure it was a graphical error only as I am happy with the results I am getting, but thought I better check.

Can you add this fix to the "to do" list for the next build/version?

Thanks

i encountered that too. also, when you use or enter "Guide" it shows vertical on the print out.

im using version 5.0 also

Thanks,

We'll get these items fixed. I'm hoping there is no new build for 5.00, I want to wrap up 5.10 and get that out.

I can't reproduce this "guide" problem. Can you upload a sample?

I see words "print" and "display". Are there 2 issues here? There are problems with support images on stress ISO generated using ISOGEN. Main problems show up if the model is rotated or North arrow direction is changed. FP and some guides do not rotate and become "undetectable". Richard: I have sent some comments/samples on these/ISOGEN issues. If needed I can collect them and send directly.

Who ever got an idea of the ISOGEN incorporation to CAESAR should get a bonus :-)

Itchy,

You can only see the limitstops if you turn the model to line model only. Rendered model somehow is blocking the image of line stops.

I like to look at the system with the transparent setting on this way the limits can be seen for sure....

Another very popular pipe stress program (rhymes with motto-pipe) shows limits stops much better, under the pipe, so they are not covered up by the pipe.
