ansys.mapdl.core.Mapdl.hptdelete

Mapdl.hptdelete(np1='', np2='', ninc='', **kwargs)

Deletes selected hardpoints.

Mechanical APDL Command: HPTDELETE

Parameters:

np1str

Delete the pattern of hard points beginning with NP1 to NP2 in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NP1 = ALL, NP2 and NINC are ignored and the pattern is all selected hard points ( ksel ). If NP1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored.

np2str

Delete the pattern of hard points beginning with NP1 to NP2 in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NP1 = ALL, NP2 and NINC are ignored and the pattern is all selected hard points ( ksel ). If NP1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored.

nincstr

Delete the pattern of hard points beginning with NP1 to NP2 in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If NP1 = ALL, NP2 and NINC are ignored and the pattern is all selected hard points ( ksel ). If NP1 = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored.

Notes

Deletes all attributes attached to the designated hard points as well as the hard points themselves. If any entity is attached to a designated hard point, the command detaches the hard point from that entity (the program will alert you that this will occur).
