To give some samples to show how to use reference state, overlay state, fringe difference state and multiple state functions.
To load a d3plot model, click the select radio button, and select one state in the state list. To select the second state like this, the neighbor states shown for compareing with each other clearly.

The 1st Sate | The 2nd State | The 3th State |
Check the Ref State to change displacement reference state to on, and enter reference state index number to 2.
The other states displacement will be base on the second state, and the second state will be shown to initial state for displacement. Like this,

Check the overlay state to turn on overlay mode, and enter a overlay state index number to 1. Select overlay color to green and drawing type to mesh.
Select another state in state list. It will be shown like this, the shade sate is the overly state, which is the first state in this model. The green mesh state is another state in the model.

Overlay |
Load a d3plot model, go to state dialog, select one state in the state list. We could take the 3th state for an example.
Go to fringe dialog to show some fringe data. Click the stress button and select the "x-stress" in the list. The x-stress fringe data will be shown in the model, like this,
![]() |
![]() |
X-Stress Fringe 3th State | Fringe Levels |
Go to state dialog, turn on fringe difference mode, and enter the state index number. The fringe data which is the difference between setting fringe defferece state and the selected state in the state list will be shown.
e.g, to set the fringe difference state to 3, select the 3th state in state list. There will be noting difference between them, like this,

Differece X-Stree Fringe Between 3th and 3th State |
Select multiState radio button, multiple selection in state list or enter the state index number for assigning.
Set the number of windows in horizontal and vertical directions. Click Apply. All the states selected will be shown.
