grid#
- property MeshGrpc.grid#
VTK representation of the underlying finite element mesh.
Examples
Store the finite element mesh as a VTK UnstructuredGrid.
>>> grid = mapdl.mesh.grid UnstructuredGrid (0x7f99b4135760) N Cells: 32198 N Points: 50686 X Bounds: -1.181e+00, 1.181e+00 Y Bounds: -2.362e-01, 0.000e+00 Z Bounds: -2.394e+00, 2.509e+00 N Arrays: 10
Plot this grid.
>>> grid.plot()
Access the node numbers of grid.
>>> grid.point_data Contains keys: ansys_node_num vtkOriginalPointIds origid VTKorigID
>>> grid.point_data['ansys_node_num'] pyvista_ndarray([ 1, 2, 3, ..., 50684, 50685, 50686], dtype=int32)
Save this grid to disk
>>> grid.save('grid.vtk')
Load this grid externally with ParaView or with pyvista
>>> import pyvista >>> pyvista.read('grid.vtk')
