Get Result objects

Get displacement result using scoping

Get the displacement Result object using scoping. The default location is nodal.

displacement_result = solution.displacement(
    location=post.locations.nodal, node_scoping=[1, 2, 3]
)
displacement = displacement_result.vector

Get information on result

Get information on the displacement result.

Use named selection on result

Use a named selection on the displacement result.

stress_on_ns_result = solution.stress(
    location=post.locations.elemental_nodal, named_selection="SELECTION"
)
stress_on_ns = stress_on_ns_result.tensor
stress_on_ns.num_fields

len(stress_on_ns[0])

5040

Get a subresult

Get a subresult.

disp_x = displacement_result.x

stress_yz = stress_with_elem_scop_result.yz

stress_principal_1 = stress_on_ns_result.principal_3

Filter result

Filter the result on a time, time scoping, and a set.

print(solution.time_freq_support)

stress_on_time_1s_result = solution.stress(time=1.0)
stress_on_time_1s = stress_on_time_1s_result.tensor

displacement_on_set_1_result = solution.displacement(set=1)

Make grouping

Make a grouping.

displacement_result = solution.displacement(grouping=post.grouping.by_el_shape)
displacement_by_el_shape = displacement_result.vector

Filter MAPDL elements

Filter for only MAPDL elements of type solid 186.

stress_result = solution.stress(mapdl_grouping=186)
stress_on_solid_186 = stress_result.tensor

Manipulate result and change its definition

Manipulate the result and change its definition.

print(stress_on_ns_result)
print(stress_on_ns_result.definition.location)

stress_on_ns_result.definition.location = post.locations.elemental
stress_on_ns_result.definition.time = 1.0
stress_on_ns_elemental = stress_on_ns_result.tensor

print(stress_on_ns_result)

Use miscellaneous results

Use miscellaneous results. You can use the same keywords here. For a complex result, you can also use the keyword phase, which has a float value.

stress_ratio = solution.misc.elemental_stress_ratio(node_scoping=[1, 32], time=1.0)
print(stress_ratio)

Stress result.

This result has been computed using dpf.core.Operator objects, which
have been chained together according to the following list:
- ENL_SRAT: Result operator. Compute the desired result.
- to_elemental_fc: This operator computes the elemental averaging of a fields container.
