Hiding Surface Results via Gray Area

I want to hide my surface results for a certain range close to the zero value. How can I do this easily in RFEM 6?

Answer:

If only individual areas are governing for the design, the evaluation based on the isobands can quickly become confusing.

When displaying the results, RFEM 6 provides the option of activating gray areas. This means that the areas with low loads are hidden and the color scale spectrum only shows the relevant areas. Images 01 and 02 show the difference between the deactivated and the activated gray areas.

2 Display with Activated Gray Zone

For this, select "Type of Display" → "Isobands" → "Gray Zone" in the lower part of the result navigator and activate it. You can select a value between 0.1% and 50% to which the gray area should extend. This percentage value indicates the limits of the gray area, based on the absolute minimum and maximum of the active result variable.
