zeros#

MapdlMath.zeros(nrow, ncol=None, dtype=<class 'numpy.float64'>, name=None, asarray=False)[source]#

Create a vector or matrix containing all zeros.

Parameters:

nrowint: Number of rows.
ncolint, optional: Number of columns. If specified, returns a matrix.
dtypenp.dtype, optional: Datatype of the vector. Must be either np.int32, np.int64, or np.double.
namestr, optional: APDLMath matrix name. Optional and defaults to a random name.
asarraybool, optional: Return a scipy array rather than an APDLMath matrix.

Returns:

AnsVec or AnsMat: APDLMath vector or matrix depending on if ncol is specified.

Examples

Create a zero vector.

>>> from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
>>> mapdl = launch_mapdl()
>>> mm = mapdl.math()
>>> vec = mm.zeros(10)

Create a zero matrix.

>>> mat = mm.zeros(10, 10)
