rotx

Query.rotx(n)

Returns x-component of rotational displacement at a node.

X-component of rotational displacement at node n.

Parameters:

nint

Node number

Returns:

float

Rotational displacement of the node.

Return type:

float

Examples

This example has been adapted from the example script Generating and Extracting Rotational Displacement. We create a square of shell material, apply a displacement perpendicular to the plane of the material, and then solve.

Then we can use queries.rotx to get the x-component rotational displacement at the middle node on the deformed edge.
