ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.read#
- Mapdl.read(fname='', nskip='', format_='', xfield='', yfield='', zfield='', prfield='', pifield='', **kwargs)#
Reads coordinate and pressure data from a file.
Mechanical APDL Command: READ
- Parameters:
- fname
str
File name and directory path (248 characters maximum, including the characters needed for the directory path). An unspecified directory path defaults to the working directory; in this case, you can use all 248 characters for the file name.
- nskip
str
Number of lines at the beginning of the file that will be skipped while it is read. Default = 0.
NSKIP
is ignored forFileType

Notes
Reads coordinate and pressure data from the specified file. The file type must have been previously specified on the ftype command.
Upon reading the file, nodes are created for the source points. For
FileType
= CFXTBR or CFDPOST on the ftype command, if face data is available,SURF154
elements are also created. A nodal component named SOURCENODES and an element component named SOURCEELEMS are created automatically.
