vabs#
- Mapdl.vabs(kabsr='', kabs1='', kabs2='', kabs3='', **kwargs)#
Applies the absolute value function to array parameters.
APDL Command:
*VABS
- Parameters:
- kabsr
Absolute value of results parameter:
Do not take absolute value of results parameter (
ParR
). - Take absolute value.- kabs1
Absolute value of first parameter:
Do not take absolute value of first parameter (
Par1
orParI
). - Take absolute value.- kabs2
Absolute value of second parameter:
Do not take absolute value of second parameter (
Par2
orParJ
). - Take absolute value.- kabs3
Absolute value of third parameter:
Do not take absolute value of third parameter (
Par3
orParK
). - Take absolute value.
Notes
Applies an absolute value to parameters used in certain
*VXX
and*MXX
operations. Typical absolute value applications are of the form:ParR = |f(|Par1|)|
or
ParR = |(|Par1| o |Par2|)|
The absolute values are applied to each input parameter value before the operation and to the result value after the operation. Absolute values are applied before the scale factors so that negative scale factors may be used. The absolute value settings are reset to the default (no absolute value) after each
*VXX
or*MXX
operation. Use*VSTAT
to list settings.This command is valid in any processor.
