Geometry

class ansys.mapdl.core.mapdl_geometry.Geometry(mapdl)

Pythonic representation of MAPDL CAD geometry

Contains advanced methods to extend geometry building and selection within MAPDL.

Methods

Geometry.area_select(items[, sel_type, ...])	Select areas using a sequence of items.
Geometry.generate_surface([density, amin, ...])	Generate an all-triangular surface of the active surfaces.
Geometry.get_areas([quality, return_as_list])	Get active areas from MAPDL represented as pyvista.PolyData or a list of pyvista.UnstructuredGrid.
Geometry.get_elements_per_area()	Get the number of elements meshed for each area.
Geometry.get_keypoints([return_as_list, ...])	Obtain the keypoints geometry.
Geometry.get_lines([return_as_list])	Obtain line geometry
Geometry.get_volumes([return_as_list, quality])	Get active volumes from MAPDL represented as a pyvista.PolyData object or a list of pyvista.UnstructuredGrid objects.
Geometry.keypoint_select([items, sel_type, ...])	Select keypoints using a sequence of items.
Geometry.line_select(items[, sel_type, ...])	Select lines using a sequence of items.
Geometry.volume_select(items[, sel_type, ...])	Select volumes using a sequence of items.
