nodal_rotation#

PostProcessing.nodal_rotation(component='ALL')[source]#

Nodal X, Y, or Z structural rotation

Equilvanent MAPDL commands: :rtype: ndarray

PRNSOL, ROT, X
PRNSOL, ROT, Y
PRNSOL, ROT, Z

Parameters:

componentstr, optional: Structural rotational component to retrieve. Must be 'X', 'Y', 'Z', or 'ALL'. Defaults to 'ALL'.

Returns:

numpy.ndarray: Numpy array with nodal X, Y, Z, or all structural rotations.

Notes

This command always returns all nodal rotations regardless of if the nodes are selected or not. Use the selected_nodes mask to get the currently selected nodes.

Examples

Nodal rotation in all dimensions for current result.

>>> mapdl.post1()
>>> mapdl.set(1, 1)
>>> mapdl.post_processing.nodal_rotation('ALL')
array([[0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0.],
       ...,
       [0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0.]])

Nodes corresponding to the nodal rotations.

>>> mapdl.mesh.nnum_all
array([   1,    2,    3, ..., 7215, 7216, 7217], dtype=int32)
