nodal_displacement

PostProcessing.nodal_displacement(component='NORM')

Nodal X, Y, or Z structural displacement.

Equilvanent MAPDL command: :rtype: ndarray

• PRNSOL, U, X

Parameters:

componentstr, optional

Structural displacement component to retrieve. Must be 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'ALL', or 'NORM'. Defaults to 'NORM'.

Returns:

numpy.ndarray

Array containing the nodal structural displacement.

Notes

This command always returns all nodal displacements regardless of if the nodes are selected or not.

Examples

Displacement in the 'X' direction for the current result.

>>> mapdl.post_processing.nodal_displacement('X')
array([1.07512979e-04, 8.59137773e-05, 5.70690047e-05, ...,
       5.70333124e-05, 8.58600402e-05, 1.07445726e-04])

Displacement in all dimensions.

>>> mapdl.post_processing.nodal_displacement('ALL')
