nodal_displacement#

PostProcessing.nodal_displacement(component='NORM')#

Nodal X, Y, or Z structural displacement.

Equilvanent MAPDL command: :rtype: ndarray

• PRNSOL, U, X

Parameters:

componentstr, optional

Structural displacement component to retrieve. Must be 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'ALL', or 'NORM'. Defaults to 'NORM'.

Returns:

numpy.ndarray

Array containing the nodal structural displacement.

Examples

Displacement in the 'X' direction for the current result.

>>> mapdl.post_processing.nodal_displacement('X')
