ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.trpoin#

Mapdl.trpoin(x='', y='', z='', vx='', vy='', vz='', chrg='', mass='', **kwargs)#

Defines a point through which a charged particle trace will travel.

Mechanical APDL Command: TRPOIN

Parameters:
xstr

Coordinate location of the trace point (in the active coordinate system). If X = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI).

ystr

Coordinate location of the trace point (in the active coordinate system). If X = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI).

zstr

Coordinate location of the trace point (in the active coordinate system). If X = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI).

vxstr

Particle velocities in the X, Y and Z directions (in the active coordinate system).

vystr

Particle velocities in the X, Y and Z directions (in the active coordinate system).

vzstr

Particle velocities in the X, Y and Z directions (in the active coordinate system).

chrgstr

Particle charge.

massstr

Particle mass.

Notes

Defines a point through which a charged particle trace ( pltrac ) will travel. Multiple points (50 maximum) may be defined which will result in multiple particle traces. Use trplis to list the currently defined trace points and trpdel to delete trace points.

The VX, VY, VZ, CHRG, and MASS arguments only apply to charged particles.
