Mapdl.desol(elem='', node='', item='', comp='', v1='', v2='', v3='', v4='', v5='', v6='', **kwargs)#

Defines or modifies solution results at a node of an element.

Mechanical APDL Command: DESOL

Parameters:

elemstr

Element number for which results are defined or modified. If ALL, apply to all selected elements ( esel ).

nodestr

Node of element (actual node number, not the position) to which results are specified. If ALL, specify results for all selected nodes ( nsel ) of element. If NODE = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for NODE.

itemstr

Label identifying results. Valid item labels are shown in DESOL - Valid Item and Component Labels below. Some items also require a component label ( Comp ).

compstr

Component of the item (if required); see DESOL - Valid Item and Component Labels.

v1str

Additional values (if any) assigned to the remaining components (in the order corresponding to the Comp list shown below) for the specified Item (starting from the specified Comp label and proceeding to the right).

v2str

Additional values (if any) assigned to the remaining components (in the order corresponding to the Comp list shown below) for the specified Item (starting from the specified Comp label and proceeding to the right).

v3str

Additional values (if any) assigned to the remaining components (in the order corresponding to the Comp list shown below) for the specified Item (starting from the specified Comp label and proceeding to the right).

v4str

Additional values (if any) assigned to the remaining components (in the order corresponding to the Comp list shown below) for the specified Item (starting from the specified Comp label and proceeding to the right).

v5str

Additional values (if any) assigned to the remaining components (in the order corresponding to the Comp list shown below) for the specified Item (starting from the specified Comp label and proceeding to the right).

v6str

Additional values (if any) assigned to the remaining components (in the order corresponding to the Comp list shown below) for the specified Item (starting from the specified Comp label and proceeding to the right).

Notes

The desol command defines or modifies solution results in the database at a node of an area or volume element. For example, desol,35,50,S,X,1000,2000,1000 assigns values 1000, 2000, and 1000 to SX, SY, and SZ (respectively) of node 50 of element 35.

The settings of the POST1 force, shell, and layer commands, if applicable, further specify which database items are affected.

For layered composite shells, specify the current element layer ( layer ) before issuing the desol command.

All data is stored in the solution coordinate system but is displayed in the results coordinate system ( rsys ). To list the current results, use the presol command.

Modified solution results are not saved automatically. To save separate records of modified results, use either the rappnd or lcwrite command.

Result items are available depending on element type; check the individual element for availability. Valid item and component labels for element results are:
