pbf#
- Mapdl.pbf(item='', key='', **kwargs)#
Shows magnitude of body force loads on displays.
APDL Command: /PBF
- Parameters:
- item
Label identifying the item:
- TEMP
Applied temperatures.
- FLUE
Applied fluences.
- HGEN
Applied heat generation rates.
- JS
Applied current density magnitude.
- JSX
X-component of current density.
- JSY
Y-component of current density.
- JSZ
Z-component of current density.
- PHASE
Phase angle of applied load.
- MVDI
Applied magnetic virtual displacements flag.
- CHRGD
Applied electric charge density.
- VLTG
Applied voltage drop.
- key
Symbol key:
- 0
Do not show body force load contours.
- 1
Show body force load contours.
- 2
Show current density as a vector (not a contour).
Notes
Shows body force loads as contours on displays for the selected elements.
The effects of the
mapdl.pbf
command are not cumulative (that is, the command does not modify an existing setting from a previously issuedmapdl.pbf
command). If you issue multiplemapdl.pbf
commands during an analysis, only the setting specified by the most recentmapdl.pbf
command applies.Use
mapdl.pstatus()
ormapdl.pbf('STAT')
to display settings. Usemapdl.pbf('DEFA')
to reset all specifications back to default. See also themapdl.psf
andmapdl.pbc
command for other display contours.Portions of this command are not supported by PowerGraphics [
mapdl.graphics('POWER')
].This command is valid in any processor.
Examples
Activate display of body loads of structural temperature on subsequent plots by showing body force and contours.
