Module containing the DpfPath class.

ansys.dpf.post.dpf_path.create_path_on_coordinates(coordinates)

Create a DPF path object.

You can use this path object to request results on a specific path of coordinates.

Parameters:

coordinates (list[list[int]], field, numpy.ndarray) – 3D coordinates.

Examples

>>> from ansys.dpf import post
>>> from ansys.dpf.post import examples
>>> coordinates = [[0.024, 0.03, 0.003]]
>>> for i in range(1, 51):
...     coord_copy = coordinates[-1].copy()
...     coord_copy[1] = coord_copy[0] + i * 0.001
...     coordinates.append(coord_copy)
>>> path_on_coord = post.create_path_on_coordinates(
... coordinates=coordinates
... )
>>> solution = post.load_solution(examples.static_rst)
>>> stress = solution.stress(path=path_on_coord)

class ansys.dpf.post.dpf_path.DpfPath(coordinates)

Describes a set of coordinates.

Parameters:

coordinates (list[list[int]], field, arrays) – 3D coordinates.

Example

Create coordinates from a list.

>>> from ansys.dpf import post
>>> coordinates = [[0.024, 0.03, 0.003]]
>>> for i in range(1, 51):
...     coord_copy = coordinates[-1].copy()
...     coord_copy[1] = coord_copy[0] + i * 0.001
...     coordinates.append(coord_copy)
>>> dpf_path = post.create_path_on_coordinates(coordinates=coordinates)

Create coordinates from a numpy.ndarray.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> coordinates = np.empty((50, 3) )
>>> coordinates[:] = [0.024, 0.03, 0.003]
>>> coordinates[:, 1] = np.linspace(0.03, 0.74)
>>> dpf_path = post.create_path_on_coordinates(coordinates=coordinates)

property coordinates

Coordinates of the path.
