This function is used to track strain path of the selected element in FLD during the whole deformation process. Define Path is used to select the required element from the graphics. After defining and exit, the program automatically calculates the change of strain path of the selected element during the deformation process and individually displays it in FLD, as shown in Figure 8.6.6. Click Clear Path to clear the defined strain path, and FLD will return to the default FLD of all elements under current frame.
