nodal_rotation#

PostProcessing.nodal_rotation(component='ALL')[source]#

Nodal X, Y, or Z structural rotation

Equilvanent MAPDL commands: :rtype: ndarray

  • PRNSOL, ROT, X

  • PRNSOL, ROT, Y

  • PRNSOL, ROT, Z

Parameters:
componentstr, optional

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

Returns:
numpy.ndarray

Numpy array with nodal X, Y, Z, or all structural rotations.

Examples

Nodal rotation in all dimensions for current result.

>>> mapdl.post1()
>>> mapdl.set(1, 1)
>>> mapdl.post_processing.nodal_rotation('ALL')
array([[0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0.],
       ...,
       [0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 0., 0.]])

Nodes corresponding to the nodal rotations.
