- Mapdl.large(ir='', ia='', ib='', ic='', name='', facta='', factb='', factc='', **kwargs)#
Finds the largest (the envelope) of three variables.
Mechanical APDL Command: LARGE
- Parameters:
- ir
str
Arbitrary reference number assigned to the resulting variable (2 to
NV
( numvar )). If this number is the same as for a previously defined variable, the previously defined variable will be overwritten with this result.- ia
str
Reference numbers of the three variables to be operated on. If only two, leave
IC
blank. If only one, leaveIB
blank also.- ib
str
Reference numbers of the three variables to be operated on. If only two, leave
IC
blank. If only one, leaveIB
blank also.- ic
str
Reference numbers of the three variables to be operated on. If only two, leave
IC
blank. If only one, leaveIB
blank also.- name
str
Thirty-two character name for identifying the variable on the printout and displays. Embedded blanks are compressed upon output.
- facta
str
Scaling factors (positive or negative) applied to the corresponding variables (default to 1.0).
- factb
str
Scaling factors (positive or negative) applied to the corresponding variables (default to 1.0).
- factc
str
Scaling factors (positive or negative) applied to the corresponding variables (default to 1.0).
- ir
Notes
Creates a new variable by finding the largest of up to three variables according to the operation:
IR
= Largest of (FACTA
xIA
,FACTB
xIB
,FACTC
xIC
)The comparison is done at each time location, so that the new variable is the “envelope” of the three existing variables.
