plmap

Mapdl.plmap(item='', nodekey='', imagkey='', **kwargs)

Plots target and source pressures.

APDL Command: PLMAP

Parameters:

item

Items to plot:

BOTH

Plot both target and source pressures (default).

TARGET

Plot only the target pressures.

SOURCE

Plot only the source pressures.

nodekey

If the source data contains faces (that is, surface elements were created upon the READ command), set NODEkey = 1 to plot only the source nodes rather than both the nodes and the elements.

imagkey

1

Plot the real pressures (default).

0

Plot the imaginary pressures.

Notes

Pressures on the target faces are displayed as a color contour plot using the command /PSF,PRES,,3. If the source data contains faces (that is, surface elements were created upon the READ command), the source faces are also displayed using a color contour plot by default. If NODEkey = 1 or no source faces are available, the source pressures are displayed as colored node symbols (/PSYMB,DOT,1 command).
