Mapdl.ancut(nfram='', delay='', ncycl='', qoff='', ktop='', topoff='', node1='', node2='', node3='', **kwargs)#

Produces an animated sequence of Q-slices.

Mechanical APDL Command: ANCUT

Parameters:
nframstr

Number of frames captures (defaults to 5).

delaystr

Time delay during animation (defaults to 0.1 seconds).

ncyclstr

Number of animation cycles (defaults to 5). Available in non-UI mode only.

qoffstr

Q-slice working plane increment (defaults to.1 half screens).

ktopstr

Topological effect on or off (YES or NO; default is NO).

topoffstr

Topological offset (default is.1 half screens).

node1str

Node 1 for start of the Q-slice.

node2str

Node 2 for direction of the Q-slice.

node3str

Node 3 for plane of the Q-slice.

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.
