Truss Elements Forces Model Visualization

Hello and thank you very much for this development. I would like to know if there is an implementation for visualize Axial Forces of Truss Elements inside a model.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, the latest version 1.0.1 already supports response post-processing and visualization of truss elements, please refer to the documentation.

Your work and effort is amazing, thank you very much!

I would like to know if the latest version is able to display vertical deflection of floor slabs, but taking each floor separately in a 2D render. My question arise because I'm implementing models like this:

3D display without using opstool library.

3D display using the output of opstool + customization

2D visualization of mesh without opstool

2D visualization of deflections without opstool

Sample from opstool documentation. I would like to know if for my problem, there is something similar to this, but forced on 2D plane, so I could be exploring floor by floor:

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi, if it is just deflection, I think there should be no problem. If it is element response, I am not sure what element your floor uses. Currently, opstool supports visualization of averaged Gaussian point responses such as shell and solid elements.
