To CII developers,

Is there any possibility if you upgrade CII in future for displaying force vector with value on 3D screen to avoid input mistake of sign???

I have complex model with slug forces required to be input at elbows. When I need to check the input force, I have to check one by one by clicking on each element and look at the value with sign. It take times.

If any good way to check, please advise.

Dear,

In the legend toolbar there is a button called forces to display forces. It will colour the nodes with loads and show the values with sign in those nodes.

Also, in the list input, you can list the forces to check them.

Hope this help. But a 3D screen display could also help in future version.

Regards.

This is a good idea. One of main purposes of the input graphics is to permit data verification.

I'll add this to list of requested enhancements.
