Shows body force loads as contours on displays for the selected elements.

The effects of the /PBF command are not cumulative (that is, the command does not modify an existing setting from a previously issued /PBF command). If you issue multiple /PBF commands during an analysis, only the setting specified by the most recent /PBF command applies.

Use /PSTATUS or /PBF,STAT to display settings. Use /PBF,DEFA to reset all specifications back to default. See also the /PSF and /PBC command for other display contours.

Portions of this command are not supported by PowerGraphics [/GRAPHICS,POWER].

This command is valid in any processor.
