LegacyGeometry

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

Legacy Pythonic representation of the MAPDL CAD geometry.

This class contains advanced methods for extending geometry building and selection within MAPDL.

Methods

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