Selecting model data and analysis results to plot

Abaqus/CAE obtains model data from the current model database and model data and analysis results from the output database. Results need not be available to produce an undeformed plot; in this case output database information from a datacheck run is sufficient.

This chapter explains how to select model data and analysis results for display.
