nodal_thermal_component_strain#

PostProcessing.nodal_thermal_component_strain(component)[source]#

Thermal nodal component strain

Equivalent MAPDL command: :rtype: ndarray

PRNSOL, EPTH, PRIN

Parameters:

componentstr, optional: Component to retrieve. Must be 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'XY', 'YZ', or 'XZ'.

Returns:

numpy.ndarray: Numpy array containing the thermal nodal component strain for the specified component.

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

Thermal component strain in the X direction for the first result.

>>> mapdl.post1()
>>> mapdl.set(1, 1)
>>> mapdl.post_processing.nodal_thermal_component_strain('X')
    array([0.60024621, 0.61625265, 0.65081825, ...,
           0.        , 0.        , 0.        ])

Corresponding nodes.

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