Parameters

odb_tag: Union[int, str], default: None

Tag of output databases (ODB) to be visualized. If None, data will be extracted from the current running memory.

show_node_numbering: bool, default: False

Whether to display node tag labels.

show_ele_numbering: bool, default: False

Whether to display element tag labels.

style: str, default: surface

Visualization mesh style of surfaces and solids. One of the following: style=’surface’, style=’wireframe’, style=’points’, style=’points_gaussian’. Defaults to ‘surface’. Note that ‘wireframe’ only shows a wireframe of the outer geometry.

color: str, default: black

Model display color.

show_bc: bool, default: True

Whether to display boundary supports.

bc_scale: float, default: 1.0

Scale the size of boundary support display.

show_link: bool, default: True

Whether to show link elements.

show_mp_constraint: bool, default: True

Whether to show multipoint (MP) constraint.

show_constraint_dofs: bool, default: False

Whether to show dofs of mp-constraints.

show_nodal_loads: bool, default: False

Whether to show nodal loads.

show_ele_loads: bool, default: False

Whether to show element loads.

load_scale: float, default: 1.0

Scale the size of load arrow presentation.

show_local_axes: bool, default: False

Whether to display element local axes, including beam-column, link, and shell elements.

local_axes_scale: float, default: 1.0

Scales the presentation size of the local axes.

show_outline: bool, default: False

Whether to display the outline of the model.

show_legend: bool, default: False

Whether to show legend.

cpos: str, default: iso

Model display perspective, optional: “iso”, “xy”, “yx”, “xz”, “zx”, “yz”, “zy”. If 3d, defaults to “iso”. If 2d, defaults to “xy”.

Returns

Plotting object of PyVista to display vtk meshes or numpy arrays. See pyvista.Plotter.
