- Mapdl.ancut(nfram='', delay='', ncycl='', qoff='', ktop='', topoff='', node1='', node2='', node3='', **kwargs)#
Produces an animated sequence of Q-slices.
Mechanical APDL Command: ANCUT
- Parameters:
- nfram
str
Number of frames captures (defaults to 5).
- delay
str
Time delay during animation (defaults to 0.1 seconds).
- ncycl
str
Number of animation cycles (defaults to 5). Available in non-UI mode only.
- qoff
str
Q-slice working plane increment (defaults to.1 half screens).
- ktop
str
Topological effect on or off (YES or NO; default is NO).
- topoff
str
Topological offset (default is.1 half screens).
- node1
str
Node 1 for start of the Q-slice.
- node2
str
Node 2 for direction of the Q-slice.
- node3
str
Node 3 for plane of the Q-slice.
- nfram
Notes
ancut involves a Mechanical APDL macro which produces an animation of Q-slices of the last plot action command. This command operates only on graphic display platforms supporting the seg command. After executing ancut, you can replay the animated sequence by issuing the anim command.
The command functions only in the postprocessor.
