Show Values
The Show Values 
option allows you to display bolt data , liner data , joint data or spring data directly on the model. The data can be displayed as numerical values and / or graphically, directly on the model elements.
To use Show Values:
- Select Show Values from the toolbar or the Show Values sub-menu of the Analysis menu.
- In the Show Values dialog, select the Data you would like to display, using the checkboxes and list boxes.
- Select the desired display / drawing options. Note:
- The Display checkboxes can be used to display data numerically (Min & Max or All Values), and / or graphically (Bars or Lines).
- If the data is displayed graphically (Bars or Lines options), then the Drawing Style and Size of Largest Value options can be used to customize the graphical display.
- Select OK, and Show Values will display data on ALL of the entities of your model, according to the selections you have made. For example, if you show values for bolts, data will be displayed on ALL bolts installed (at the stage being viewed).
If you are not zoomed into an area of the model, the display of values will probably overlap. This is normal. To make values readable, you will have to zoom in to an area of interest. After you have zoomed, you may also find it useful to pan the view.
To hide or modify the display of values, you can re-select Show Values, and make the desired changes in the dialog. Alternatively, you can use the right-click shortcuts described below.
Right Click Shortcut
The Show Values options can also be conveniently accessed with the right mouse button, as follows:
- If you right-click the mouse directly on a model element (i.e. a bolt, liner or joint), you will see a Show Values sub-menu in the popup menu.
- In this sub-menu, you can directly select the data to display on the model (e.g. Axial Force for bolts). Note that the data will be displayed according to the current display settings in the Show Values dialog.
