get_lines

LegacyGeometry.get_lines(return_as_list=False)

Obtain line geometry

Obtain the active lines as a pyvista.PolyData object or a list of pyvista.PolyData objects.

Parameters:

return_as_listbool, optional

Whether to return the lines in a list. The default is False.

Returns:

Union[pv.PolyData, List[pv.PolyData]]

Return type:

Union[PolyData, List[PolyData]]

Examples

Return a single merged mesh.

>>> line_mesh = mapdl.geometry.get_lines()
>>> line_mesh
PolyData (0x14917e740)
  N Cells:    45
  N Points:   4500
  N Strips:   0
  X Bounds:   -1.588e-02, 1.588e-02

  Z Bounds:   -3.180e-03, 1.524e-02
  N Arrays:   1

Return a list of lines as individual grids

>>> lines = mapdl.geometry.get_lines(return_as_list=True)
>>> lines
