display element loading in current window

Synopsis

Plot_ElemLoading (Model,ElemData,PlotOpt)

Description

PLOT_ELEMLOADING display element loading in current window
  PLOT_ELEMLOADING (MODEL,ELEMDATA,PLOTOPT)
  the function displays in the current window the distributed element loading
  and the initial deformations in ELEMDATA for the structural model in data structure MODEL;
  PLOTOPT is an optional data structure controlling the display;
  in its absense the function plots the model with default values;
  PLOTOPT has the following fields:
    FrcSF: scale factor for shaft of nodal force arrow (default = 1)
    TipSF: scale factor for nodal force arrow tip
    ArWth: width of nodal force arrow shaft (default=3)
    ArClr: color for nodal force arrow shaft and tip (default='r')
    FntSF: scale factor for font size of force label
