Extract components of results - Modal Simulation#
In this script, a modal simulation is processed to extract sub-components of results like elastic strain and displacement.
Perform required imports#
This example uses a supplied file that you can
get by importing the DPF examples package.
from ansys.dpf import post
from ansys.dpf.post import examples
Get Simulation object#
Get the Simulation object that allows access to the result. The Simulation
object must be instantiated with the path for the result file. For example,
"C:/Users/user/my_result.rst" on Windows or "/home/user/my_result.rst"
on Linux.
example_path = examples.download_all_kinds_of_complexity_modal()
# to automatically detect the simulation type, use:
simulation = post.load_simulation(example_path)
# to enable auto-completion, use the equivalent:
simulation = post.ModalMechanicalSimulation(example_path)
# print the simulation to get an overview of what's available
print(simulation)
