3.5.3.3. Advanced Page
This page provides various options related to the drawing and the control for the force display on the animation state on the Working Window.
Drawing
Icons: Selects the icon color on Working Window. In addition, the gravity icon color is set by this option.
Arrows: Selects the allowed color which is applied for the Normal Direction color of the contact elements.
Show Normal Direction of Contact Surfaces
If this option is checked, it shows the arrow icon which indicates the normal direction of the contact surface while the Contact property page is opened. (The default is checked, and the number of arrows is 10.)
The user can change the limitation of the maximum number of arrow icons.
In the specific case of an FFlex body, the other Up/Down direction can display as the red arrow which is an additional one beyond the user-defined number because of the incorrect node sequence of an element.

If this option is not checked, the background of the tooltip shows as the white color. (The default option is unchecked.)
