vplot#
- Mapdl.vplot(nv1='', nv2='', ninc='', degen='', scale='', vtk=None, quality=4, show_volume_numbering=False, show_area_numbering=False, show_line_numbering=False, color_areas=False, show_lines=True, **kwargs)#
Plot the selected volumes.
APDL Command: VPLOT
Note
PyMAPDL plotting commands with
vtk=True
ignore any values set with thePNUM
command.- Parameters:
- nv1, nv2, ninc
Display volumes from NV1 to NV2 (defaults to NV1) in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NV1 = ALL (default), NV2 and NINC are ignored and all selected volumes [VSEL] are displayed. Ignored when
vtk=True
.- degen
Degeneracy marker.
"blank"
No degeneracy marker is used (default), or"DEGE"
. A red star is placed on keypoints at degeneracies (see the Modeling and Meshing Guide). Not available if /FACET,WIRE is set. Ignored whenvtk=True
.- scale
Scale factor for the size of the degeneracy-marker star. The scale is the size in window space (-1 to 1 in both directions) (defaults to .075). Ignored when
vtk=True
.- vtkbool,
optional
Plot the currently selected volumes using
ansys-tools-visualization_interface
. As this creates a temporary surface mesh, this may have a long execution time for large meshes.- quality
int
,optional
quality of the mesh to display. Varies between 1 (worst) to 10 (best). Applicable when
vtk=True
.- show_numberingbool,
optional
Display line and keypoint numbers when
vtk=True
.- **kwargs
See
ansys.mapdl.core.plotting.visualizer.MapdlPlotter
for more keyword arguments applicable when visualizing withvtk=True
.
Examples
Plot while displaying area numbers.
