plot_frame_responses

opstool.vis.pyvista.plot_frame_responses(odb_tag=1, ele_tags=None, resp_type='sectionForces', resp_dof='MZ', slides=False, step='absMax', scale=1.0, show_values=False, cpos='iso', line_width=1.5)[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 following step parameter.

step: Union[int, str], default: “absMax”

If slides = False, this parameter will be used as the step to plot. If str, Optional: [absMax, absMin, Max, Min]. If int, this step will be demonstrated (counting from 0).

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.

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”.

line_width: float, default: 1.5.

Line width of the response graph.

Returns

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