Examples
Here we create a single volume and interrogate its selection status.
>>> from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl >>> mapdl = launch_mapdl() >>> mapdl.prep7() >>> mapdl.et(1, 'SHELL181') >>> k1 = mapdl.k(1, 0, 0, 0) >>> k2 = mapdl.k(2, 1, 0, 0) >>> k3 = mapdl.k(3, 0, 1, 0) >>> k4 = mapdl.k(4, 0, 0, 1) >>> v1 = mapdl.v(k1, k2, k3, k4) >>> v1 1
We can use
Query.vsel
to interrogate the selection status of the element. The response is anenum.IntEnum
object. If you query a volume that does not exist, it will return a statusSelectionStatus.UNDEFINED
.>>> q = mapdl.queries >>> q.vsel(v1) <SelectionStatus.SELECTED: 1> >>> mapdl.vsel('NONE') >>> q.vsel(v1) <SelectionStatus.UNSELECTED: -1> >>> q.vsel(0) <SelectionStatus.UNDEFINED: 0>
