Cut
Used to cut elements and to create a section of new elements and nodes. Either pick three nodes, or, in case a dataset-entity of a vector was already selected, use the menu entry “vector” and select just one node. The cutting plane is then determined by the direction of the selected vector (displacements, worstPS etc.). The three room directions x,y,z can also be used to define a plane normal to the selected direction. To suppress or enable the immediate ploting of the cut chose “switch plot” (switch ploting on/off) before you create the cut. This is necessary if more than one cut should be shown together. So first “switch plot” then create all the cuts except the last. Then “switch plot” again and create the last cut. Select “Uncut” to delete the sections and to display the model.
To easily find the element corners, the function ”Toggle Element Edges” is triggered automatically (see also ”qcut” and ”cut”)
