nsol#

Mapdl.nsol(nvar='', node='', item='', comp='', name='', sector='', **kwargs)[source]#

Specifies nodal data to be stored from the results file.

APDL Command: NSOL

Parameters:

nvar: 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.
node: Node for which data are to be stored.
item: Label identifying the item. Valid item labels are shown in the table below. Some items also require a component label.
comp: Component of the item (if required). Valid component labels are shown in the table below.
name: 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.
sector: For a full harmonic cyclic symmetry solution, the sector number for which the results from NODE are to be stored.

Notes

Stores nodal degree of freedom and solution results in a variable. For more information, see Data Interpreted in the Nodal Coordinate System in the Modeling and Meshing Guide.

For SECTOR>1, the result is in the nodal coordinate system of the base sector, and it is rotated to the expanded sector’s location. Refer to Using the /CYCEXPAND Command in the Cyclic Symmetry Analysis Guide for more information.

For SHELL131 and SHELL132 elements with KEYOPT(3) = 0 or 1, use the labels TBOT, TE2, TE3, …, TTOP instead of TEMP.
