FBD Potato/VMT Plots
Potato plots are used to build load envelopes. VMT plots are used to build tensile, shear and bending moment diagrams.
From the menu bar, click Potato/VMT
Table/Plot menu.
. From the FBD Manager dialog, select an option from the Summary tables, from the FBD Forces tool, are required to create Potato/VMT plots.
Potato/VMT plots are created using HyperGraph 2D. The
Potato/VMT tool creates .fbd files that will be imported by
HyperGraph 2D.
- FBD Summary Table
- Selects the summary table created by the FBD Forces tool.
- Summation Points Coordinates
