Potato plots are used to build load envelopes. VMT plots are used to build tensile,
shear and bending moment diagrams.
From the Post ribbon, click the arrow besides the Free Body tool set
name and select Potato/VMT Plot.
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. For more information please see Free Body
Diagrams. Figure 1. Figure 2.
FBD Summary Table
Selects the summary table created by the FBD Forces tool.
