plot_nodal_displacement#

PostProcessing.plot_nodal_displacement(component='NORM', show_node_numbering=False, **kwargs)[source]#

Plot nodal displacement

Parameters:

componentstr, optional: Structural displacement component to retrieve. Must be 'X', 'Y', 'Z', or 'NORM'. Defaults to 'NORM'.
show_node_numberingbool, optional: Plot the node numbers of surface nodes.
**kwargsdict, optional: Keyword arguments passed to general_plotter.

Returns:

pyvista.plotting.renderer.CameraPosition: Camera position from plotter. Can be reused as an input parameter to use the same camera position for future plots. Only returned when return_cpos is True.
pyvista.Plotter: PyVista Plotter. In this case, the plotter is shown yet, so you can still edit it using PyVista Plotter methods. Only when return_plotter kwarg is True.

Notes

If vkt=True (default), this function uses general_plotter You can pass key arguments to general_plotter using kwargs argument. For example, show_axes , background, etc.

Examples

Plot the normalized nodal displacement for the second result.

>>> mapdl.post1()
>>> mapdl.set(1, 2)
>>> mapdl.post_processing.plot_nodal_displacement('NORM',
...                                               smooth_shading=True)

Plot the x displacement without smooth shading with individual node numbering.

>>> mapdl.post_processing.plot_nodal_displacement('X',
...                                               show_node_numbering=True)
