vec#
- Mapdl.vec(vector='', type_='', method='', val1='', val2='', val3='', val4='', **kwargs)#
Creates a vector.
APDL Command:
*VEC
- Parameters:
- vector
Name used to identify the vector. Must be specified.
- type_
Vector type:
"D"
: Double precision real values (default)."Z"
: Complex double precision values."I"
: Integer values.
- method
Method used to create the vector:
"ALLOC"
: Allocate space for a vector (default)."RESIZE"
: Resize an existing vector to a new length. Values are kept from the original vector. If the length specified by Val1 is greater than the original vector length, the additional rows are assigned a value of zero."COPY"
: Copy an existing vector."IMPORT"
: Import the vector from a file."LINK"
: Link to a column of an existing dense*DMAT
matrix and use it in subsequent vector calculations. Any changes to the vector are also made to the corresponding matrix column (memory is shared).
Copy an existing vector. - Import the vector from a file.
- val1, val2, val3, val4, val5
Additional input. The meaning of
val1
throughval5
will vary depending on the specified Method. See: https://www.mm.bme.hu/~gyebro/files/ans_help_v182/ans_cmd/Hlp_C_VEC.html
Notes
Use the
*DMAT
command to create a matrix.For more information on the BACK and FORWARD nodal mapping vectors, see Degree of Freedom Ordering in the ANSYS Parametric Design Language Guide.
