smbc#
- Mapdl.smbc(mode='', **kwargs)#
Controls the display of solid model boundary condition symbols and
APDL Command: /SMBC labels.
- Parameters:
- mode
- CENT
Solid model boundary condition symbols and labels appear at the centroid of the solid model entity (default).
- TESS
Solid model boundary condition symbols and labels appear inside each constituent element of the tessellation.
Notes
Mode = CENT is designed to reduce the clutter of boundary condition symbols in solid model plots. For example, if you have assigned normal pressure loads to an area, you may choose to display the pressures as arrows with the /PSF command using /PSF,PRES,NORM,2. When Mode = CENT, the pressure arrow is displayed at the centroid of the area. When Mode = TESS, a pressure arrow is displayed at the centroid of each polygon of the area’s tessellation.
This command is valid in any processor.
