opstool.vis.plotly.plot_nodal_responses_animation(odb_tag=1, framerate=None, scale=1.0, show_defo=True, resp_type='disp', resp_dof=('UX', 'UY', 'UZ'), show_bc=True, bc_scale=1.0, show_mp_constraint=False, show_undeformed=False, style='surface', show_outline=False)[source]

Visualize node response animation.

Parameters

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

Tag of output databases (ODB) to be visualized.

framerate: int, default: 5

Framerate for the display, i.e., the number of frames per second.

scale: float, default: 1.0

Scales the size of the deformation presentation.

show_defo: bool, default: True

Whether to display the deformed shape.

resp_type: str, default: disp

Type of response to be visualized. Optional: “disp”, “vel”, “accel”, “reaction”, “reactionIncInertia”, “rayleighForces”, “pressure”.

resp_dof: str, default: (“UX”, “UY”, “UZ”)

Component to be visualized. Optional: “UX”, “UY”, “UZ”, “RX”, “RY”, “RZ”. You can also pass on a list or tuple to display multiple dimensions, for example, [“UX”, “UY”], [“UX”, “UY”, “UZ”], [“RX”, “RY”, “RZ”], [“RX”, “RY”], [“RY”, “RZ”], [“RX”, “RZ”], and so on.

show_bc: bool, default: True

Whether to display boundary supports.

bc_scale: float, default: 1.0

Scale the size of boundary support display.

show_mp_constraint: bool, default: False

Whether to show multipoint (MP) constraint.

show_undeformed: bool, default: False

Whether to show the undeformed shape of the model.

show_outline: bool, default: False

Whether to display the outline of the model.

style: str, default: surface

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

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
