ndinqr

Mapdl.ndinqr(node, key, pname='__tmpvar__', **kwargs)

Get information about a node.

Secondary Functions: Set current node pointer to this node.

Warning

DISCLAIMER: This function is un-documented in the official ANSYS Command Reference Guide. Hence its support is limited and it use is not encouraged. Please use it with caution.

Parameters:

nodeint

node number. It should be 0 for key=11, DB_NUMDEFINED, DB_NUMSELECTED, DB_MAXDEFINED, and DB_MAXRECLENG.

keyint

key as to information needed about the node.

• DB_SELECTED - return select status:

  • 0 - node is undefined.

  • -1 - node is unselected.

  • 1 - node is selected.

• DB_NUMDEFINED - return number of defined nodes

• DB_MAXDEFINED - return highest node number defined

• DB_MAXRECLENG - return maximum record length (dp words)

• 2, return length (dp words)

• 3,

• 4, pointer to first data word

• 11, return void percent (integer)

• 17, pointer to start of index

• 117, return the maximum number of DP contact data stored for any node

pnamestr

Name of the variable where the queried value is stored.

**kwargs

Extra arguments to be passed to Mapdl.run.

Returns:

str, int, or float

The returned value of ndinqr is based on setting of key.
