Bubble 3D presents stress distribution in 'slices' at all three main planes:


  • XY Slices: these are horizontal slices in XY plane. These slices are automatically generated at different depths (i.e. different Z values) with DZ interval, as defined on the Site Data page.
  • YZ Slices: these are vertical slices in YZ plane. These slices are automatically generated at different X values with DX interval, as defined on the Site Data page.
  • XZ Slices: these are vertical slices in XZ plane. These slices are automatically generated at different Y values with DY interval, as defined on the Site Data page.


You can turn on/off series of these slices, from the list of Information Layers. If you would like to filter certain slices (e.g. between YZ slices between X1 and X2), you can filter slices. The following figure shows 6 different YZ stress slices generated at different X values (slices in other 2 planes are turned off for clarity).
