ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.jsol#

Mapdl.jsol(nvar='', elem='', item='', comp='', name='', **kwargs)#

Specifies result items to be stored for the joint element.

Mechanical APDL Command: JSOL

Parameters:
nvarstr

Arbitrary reference number or name assigned to this variable. Variable numbers can be 2 to NV ( numvar ) while the name can be an eight-byte character string. Overwrites any existing results for this variable.

elemstr

Element number for which to store results.

itemstr

Label identifying the item. Valid item labels are shown in jsol_tab_1 below.

compstr

Component of the Item (if required). Valid component labels are shown in jsol_tab_1 below.

namestr

Thirty-two character name identifying the item on printouts and displays. Defaults to a label formed by concatenating the first four characters of the Item and Comp labels.

Notes

This command is valid for the MPC184 joint elements. The values stored are for the free or unconstrained degrees of freedom of a joint element. Relative reaction forces and moments are available only if stiffness, damping, or friction is associated with the joint element. .. _jsol_tab_1:
