bfalist

Mapdl.bfalist(area='', lab='', **kwargs)

Lists the body force loads on an area.

APDL Command: BFALIST

Parameters:

area

Area at which body load is to be listed. If ALL (or blank), list for all selected areas [ASEL]. If AREA = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may also be substituted for AREA.

lab

Valid body load label. If ALL, use all appropriate labels. Load labels are listed under “Body Loads” in the input table for each element type in the Element Reference. See the BFA command for labels.

Returns:

str

Str object with the command console output. This object also has the extra methods: to_list(), to_array() (only on listing commands) and to_dataframe() (only if Pandas is installed).
NOTE: If you use these methods, you might obtain a lower precision than using Mesh methods.

Notes

Lists the body force loads for the specified area and label. Body loads may be defined on an area with the BFA command.

This command is valid in any processor.
