legend_min
Indicates if the minimum value found in the file should be used as the minimum value on the legend (0), or if the legend_min_value argument should be used instead (1).
legend_min_value
The minimum value to display on the legend. This is only used if legend_min is set to 1.
legend_max
Indicates if the maximum value found in the file should be used as the maximum value on the legend (0), or if the legend_max_value argument should be used instead (1).
legend_max_value
The maximum value to display on the legend. This is only used if legend_max is set to 1.

scale_factor
The scale factor used for scaling a deformed plot.

Examples

To load the result file named C:/my_results/test.res and generate an assigned plot for Subcase 1 with Displacements data type, using the maximum and minimum values defined in the analysis file, a mesh color of black, and normal plot size:

*analysisfileset C:/my_results/test.res
*inputsimulation "Subcase 1" "Displacements"
*assignedplot "" 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0.0 0 0 "magnitude" 1.0 0 0
*freesimulation

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
