class ansys.mapdl.core.mapdl_geometry.Geometry(mapdl)[source]#

Pythonic representation of MAPDL CAD geometry

Contains advanced methods to extend geometry building and selection within MAPDL.

Methods

`Geometry.area_select`(items[, sel_type, ...])	Select areas using a sequence of items.
`Geometry.areas`([quality, merge])	List of areas from MAPDL represented as `pyvista.PolyData`.
`Geometry.generate_surface`([density, amin, ...])	Generate an all-triangular surface of the active surfaces.
`Geometry.keypoint_select`(items[, sel_type, ...])	Select keypoints using a sequence of items.
`Geometry.line_select`(items[, sel_type, ...])	Select lines using a sequence of items.
`Geometry.volume_select`(items[, sel_type, ...])	Select volumes using a sequence of items.

Attributes

`Geometry.anum`	Array of area numbers.
`Geometry.keypoints`	Keypoint coordinates
`Geometry.knum`	Array of keypoint numbers.
`Geometry.lines`	Active lines as a pyvista.PolyData
`Geometry.lnum`	Array of line numbers.
`Geometry.n_area`	Number of areas currently selected.
`Geometry.n_keypoint`	Number of keypoints currently selected.
`Geometry.n_line`	Number of lines currently selected.
`Geometry.n_volu`	Number of volumes currently selected.
`Geometry.vnum`	Array of volume numbers.
