Examples

Create a nodes instance.

>>> from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
>>> mapdl = launch_mapdl()
>>> # create nodes...
>>> nodes = mapdl.db.nodes
>>> print(nodes)
MAPDL Database Nodes
    Number of nodes:          270641
    Number of selected nodes: 270641
    Maximum node number:      270641

>>> mapdl.nsel("NONE")
>>> print(nodes)
MAPDL Database Nodes
    Number of nodes:          270641
    Number of selected nodes: 0
    Maximum node number:      270641

Return the selection status and the coordinates of node 22.

>>> nodes = mapdl.db.nodes
>>> sel, coord = nodes.coord(22)
>>> coord
(1.0, 0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

Return all the node indices, coordinates, and angles of all the nodes.

>>> nodes = mapdl.db.nodes
>>> ind, coords, angles = nodes.all_asarray()
>>> ind
