Mapdl.header(header='', stitle='', idstmp='', notes='', colhed='', minmax='', **kwargs)#

Sets page and table heading print controls.

APDL Command: /HEADER

Parameters:
header

ANSYS page header (system, date, time, version, copyright, title, etc.):

ON - Turns this item on (default for batch mode; not available for interactive

mode).

OFF - Turns this item off.

(blank) - Retains the previous setting.

stitle

Subtitles (see /STITLE command): ON, OFF, or (blank) (see above).

idstmp

Load step information (step number, substep number, time value): ON, OFF, or (blank) (see above).

notes

Information relative to particular table listings: ON, OFF, or (blank) (see above).

colhed

Column header labels of table listings (currently only for single column tables): ON, OFF, or (blank) (see above).

minmax

Minimum/maximum information or totals after table listings: ON, OFF, or (blank) (see above).

Notes

Sets specifications on or off for page and table heading print controls associated with the POST1 PRNSOL, PRESOL, PRETAB, PRRSOL, and PRPATH commands.

Note:: : If the printout caused a top-of-form (page eject to top of next page), the top-of-form is also suppressed with the printout. Issue /HEADER,STAT to display the current settings. Issue /HEADER,DEFA to reset the default specifications.

This command is valid in any processor.
