Basic features

This example shows you how you can get and use a Result object.

Perform required imports

Perform required imports.

from ansys.dpf import post
from ansys.dpf.post import examples

Get Solution object

Get the Solution object and instantiate with the path for the result file.

example_path = examples.download_all_kinds_of_complexity()
solution = post.load_solution(example_path)

Get Result objects

Get displacement result

Get the displacement Result object.

displacement_result = solution.displacement()
displacement = displacement_result.vector

Get information on result

Get information on the displacement result.

displacement.num_fields
disp_data = displacement.get_data_at_field(0)
len(disp_data)

disp_data[1]

displacement.max_data
displacement.get_max_data_at_field(0)

displacement.min_data

DPFArray([[-1.82645944e-06, -1.04473039e+01, -2.94677257e-04]])

Get stress result

Get the stress Result object for a tensor. You can get the nodal or elemental location. The default is the nodal location.

el_stress_result = solution.stress(location=post.locations.elemental)
nod_stress_result = solution.stress(location=post.locations.nodal)

Get information on result

Get information on the stress result.

el_stress = el_stress_result.tensor
nod_stress = nod_stress_result.tensor

el_field = el_stress[0]
el_field.location

nod_field = nod_stress[0]
nod_field.location

el_stress.get_max_data_at_field(0)
