ndinqr#

Mapdl.ndinqr(node, key, pname='__tmpvar__', **kwargs)#

Get information about a node.

Secondary Functions: Set current node pointer to this node.

Warning

DISCLAIMER: This function is un-documented in the official ANSYS Command Reference Guide. Hence its support is limited and it use is not encouraged. Please use it with caution.

Parameters:
nodeint

node number. It should be 0 for key=11, DB_NUMDEFINED, DB_NUMSELECTED, DB_MAXDEFINED, and DB_MAXRECLENG.

keyint

key as to information needed about the node.

pnamestr

Name of the variable where the queried value is stored.

**kwargs

Extra arguments to be passed to Mapdl.run.

Returns:
str, int, or float

The returned value of ndinqr is based on setting of key.
