plot_frame_responses

opstool.vis.plotly.plot_frame_responses(odb_tag=1, ele_tags=None, resp_type='sectionForces', resp_dof='MZ', slides=False, scale=1.0, show_values=False, line_width=5.0, show_outline=False)[source]

Plot the responses of the frame element.

Parameters

odb_tag: Union[int, str], default: 1

Tag of output databases (ODB) to be visualized.

ele_tags: Union[int, list], default: None

The tags of frame elements to be visualized. If None, all frame elements are selected.

resp_type: str, default: “sectionforces”

Response type, optional, one of [“localForces”, “basicForces”, “basicDeformations”, “plasticDeformation”, “sectionForces”, “sectionDeformations”].

resp_dof: str, default: “MZ”

Component type corrsponding to the resp_type.

  • For localForces: [“FX”, “FY”, “FZ”, “MX”, “MY”, “MZ”]

  • For basicForces: [“N”, “MZ”, “MY”, “T”]

  • For basicDeformations: [“N”, “MZ”, “MY”, “T”]

  • For plasticDeformation: [“N”, “MZ”, “MY”, “T”]

  • For sectionForces: [“N”, “MZ”, “VY”, “MY”, “VZ”, “T”]

  • For sectionDeformations: [“N”, “MZ”, “VY”, “MY”, “VZ”, “T”]

Note

For sectionForces and sectionDeformations, not all sections include the shear dof VY and VZ. For instance, in the most commonly used 3D fiber cross-sections, only the axial force N, bending moments MZ and MY, and torsion T are available.

slides: bool, default: False

Display the response for each step in the form of a slideshow. Otherwise, show the step with the largest response.

show_values: bool, default: True

Whether to display the response value.

scale: float, default: 1.0

Scale the size of the response graph.

Note

You can adjust the scale to make the response graph more visible. A negative number will reverse the direction.

line_width: float, default: 1.5.

Line width of the response graph.

show_outline: bool, default: False

Whether to display the outline of the model.

Returns

fig: plotly.graph_objects.Figure

You can use fig.show() to display, You can also use fig.write_html(“path/to/file.html”) to save as an HTML file, see Interactive HTML Export in Python
