plls#
- Mapdl.plls(labi='', labj='', fact='', kund='', viewup='', **kwargs)#
Displays element table items as contoured areas along elements.
APDL Command: PLLS
- Parameters:
- labi
Label of element table item (ETABLE) for node I magnitude.
- labj
Label of element table item for node J magnitude.
- fact
Scale factor for display (defaults to 1). A negative scaling factor may be used to invert the display.
- kund
Undisplaced shape key:
0 - Display selected items on undeformed shape.
1 - Display selected items on deformed shape.
- viewup
View Up key:
- 0 - Ignore the view-up (/VUP) vector when calculating trapezoid orientation
(default).
1 - Use the view-up (/VUP) vector to calculate trapezoid orientation.
Notes
Displays selected items (such as shears and moments) as a contoured area (trapezoid) display along line elements and 2-D axisymmetric shell elements (such as shear and moment diagrams). Three sides of the trapezoid are formed by the element (one side) and lines at nodes I and J of length proportional to the item magnitude and displayed normal to the element and the viewing direction (the two parallel sides).
When ViewUP = 1, the trapezoid is oriented within the plane created by the element and the global Cartesian coordinate system reference orientation (/VUP or view up) vector. In this case, the program does not perform the calculation involving the element and view direction.
