Compression Results: 

Compression results can be plotted in 3 dimensional view and 2 dimensional view.


Options for 3D Compression output:


Preset Views: select from 12 preset view

Angles: select rotational angle for X, Y, and Z axises. Default values are shown.

Transparency: select value for transparency

Plot Option
    Line distributions: plot deformations along vertical calculated lines. This option is better for fewer
                                 calculated points
    Settlement only: plot surface settlement along calculated line
    Contour: plot contours in XY plane (under development)

Load Plotting Scale
    To Soil Unit Weight: scale the maximum load based on soil unit weight
    To Depth: scale the maximum load to be 10% of the maximum depth

Classification: show soil layer based on soil classification


Options for 2D Contours of Induced Stresses and Compression Deformation:

 

 

Contour Options page:

View Window: (see image above)
    Vmin: left side coordinate
    Vmax: right side coordinate
    Zmin: minimum depth
    Zmax: maximum depth 

Induced Stress
    Min: minimum value of stress contour
    Max: maximum value of stress contour
    Incrt.: stress contour increment

Deformation
    Min: minimum value of deformation contour
    Max: maximum value of deformation contour
    Incrt.: deformation contour increment

Contour Options
    Data skipped:  stress and deformation are calculated approximately every 0.5 ft (15 cm) in vertical direction. You can skip some vertical points in plot. The default value is 2. 
    Line thickness: change line thickness. The default value is 2 pixels.

Plot data points: show data points on your plot

Show soil layer: if checked, show USCS soil layers. Otherwise, plot 2D color contour

Show plane view: show plane view of footings
