RAM Elements currently allows users to visualize the deformed shape of a structure and obtain displacement results by selecting individual nodes or reviewing result tables. While this provides accurate numerical information, the workflow becomes inefficient when reviewing medium and large structural models.
Modern structural analysis software provides interactive contour visualization that enables engineers to quickly identify critical regions and understand the overall structural response without manually inspecting multiple nodes.
It would be highly beneficial for RAM Elements to include an Interactive Result Contour Viewer capable of displaying structural results using color contours directly on the model.
In addition to the color contours, the viewer should include a Hover Probe Tool, allowing users to simply move the cursor over any structural element and instantly display the corresponding result at that location.
Unlike manually selecting nodes, this would provide a continuous and intuitive way to inspect results across the entire structure.
