ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.cval#

Mapdl.cval(wn='', v1='', v2='', v3='', v4='', v5='', v6='', v7='', v8='', **kwargs)#

Specifies nonuniform contour values on stress displays.

Mechanical APDL Command: /CVAL

Command default:

Nine contour values uniformly spaced between the extreme values.

Parameters:

wnstr

Window number (or ALL) to which command applies (defaults to 1).

v1str

Up to 8 contour values may be specified (in ascending order). The 0.0 value (if any) must not be the last value specified. If no values are specified, all contour specifications are erased and contours are automatically calculated.

v2str

Up to 8 contour values may be specified (in ascending order). The 0.0 value (if any) must not be the last value specified. If no values are specified, all contour specifications are erased and contours are automatically calculated.

v3str

Up to 8 contour values may be specified (in ascending order). The 0.0 value (if any) must not be the last value specified. If no values are specified, all contour specifications are erased and contours are automatically calculated.

v4str

Up to 8 contour values may be specified (in ascending order). The 0.0 value (if any) must not be the last value specified. If no values are specified, all contour specifications are erased and contours are automatically calculated.

v5str

Up to 8 contour values may be specified (in ascending order). The 0.0 value (if any) must not be the last value specified. If no values are specified, all contour specifications are erased and contours are automatically calculated.

v6str

Up to 8 contour values may be specified (in ascending order). The 0.0 value (if any) must not be the last value specified. If no values are specified, all contour specifications are erased and contours are automatically calculated.

v7str

Up to 8 contour values may be specified (in ascending order). The 0.0 value (if any) must not be the last value specified. If no values are specified, all contour specifications are erased and contours are automatically calculated.

v8str

Up to 8 contour values may be specified (in ascending order). The 0.0 value (if any) must not be the last value specified. If no values are specified, all contour specifications are erased and contours are automatically calculated.

Notes

This command is similar to the contour command. With cval, however, you define the upper level of each contour band instead of having the contours uniformly distributed over the range. The minimum value (including a zero value for the first band) for a contour band cannot be specified. If you use both contour and cval, the last command issued takes precedence.

This command is valid in any processor.
