Used to select which, if any, strain is displayed on plates in the Part window. The strain map shows the strain which will need to be applied to the developed plate in order to make it fit the hull. The colour map indicates the magnitude of the strain; blue denotes compression (shrinking) required and red expansion. Green areas require bending only and no in-plane strain. The colour map is limited to +/-0.5%.
Forming Direction: maximum principal direct strain. For plates developed using the General method, the forming direction will be indicated by an arrow. For the other methods, the forming direction will be from the first to the second selected edge, i.e. butt to butt.
Perpendicular to Forming Direction: minimum principal direct strain.
