ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.pbf#

Mapdl.pbf(item='', key='', **kwargs)#

Shows magnitude of body-force loads on displays.

Mechanical APDL Command: /PBF

Command default:

No body-force load contours displayed.

Parameters:

itemstr

Label identifying the item:

• TEMP - Applied temperatures.

• FLUE - Applied fluences.

• HGEN - Applied heat generation rates.

• JS - Applied current density magnitude.

• JSX - X-component of current density.

• JSY - Y-component of current density.

• JSZ - Z-component of current density.

• PHASE - Phase angle of applied load.

• MVDI - Applied magnetic virtual displacements flag.

• CHRGD - Applied electric charge density.

keyint or str

Symbol key:

• 0 - Do not show body-force load contours.

• 1 - Show body-force load contours.

• 2 - Show current density as a vector (not a contour).

Notes

Shows body-force loads as contours on displays for the selected elements.

The effects of the /PBF command are not cumulative (that is, the command does not modify an existing setting from a previously issued /PBF command). If you issue multiple /PBF commands during an analysis, only the setting specified by the most recent pbf command applies.

Use pstatus or pbf,STAT to display settings. Use pbf,DEFA to reset all specifications back to default. See also the psf and pbc command for other display contours.

Portions of this command are not supported by PowerGraphics ( graphics,POWER).

This command is valid in any processor.
