Postprocessing¶

The post-processing module mainly handles the saving and reading of model and response data. Most responses are returned in the DataArray and DataSet formats of xarray for easy retrieval.

Utilities¶

`opstool.post.get_nodal_responses_info`([...])	Get nodal response types, dimensions, and DOFs.
`opstool.post.get_element_responses_info`(ele_type)	Return a dictionary of response types, dimensions, and DOFs for the given element type.
`opstool.post.set_odb_path`(path)	Set the output directory for the results saving.
`opstool.post.set_odb_format`(odb_format)	Set the output format for the results saving.
`opstool.post.update_unit_system`([pre, post])	Set the unit system will be used for post-processing.
`opstool.post.reset_unit_system`()	Reset unit system for post-processing.

Plotting¶

`opstool.post.plot_nodal_responses`(odb_tag, ...)	Read nodal responses data from a file.
`opstool.post.plot_element_responses`(odb_tag, ...)	Plot element responses over time.

Data Saving¶

Model, Eigenvalue and Linear Buckling Analysis Response Preservation:¶

`opstool.post.save_model_data`([odb_tag])	Save the model data from the current domain.
`opstool.post.save_eigen_data`([odb_tag, ...])	Save modal analysis data.
`opstool.post.save_linear_buckling_data`(kmat, ...)	Save linear buckling analysis data.

The built-in step response data by opstool is saved¶

opstool.post.CreateODB([odb_tag, ...])

Create an output database (ODB) to save response data.

Result Reading¶

Retrive the response data:¶

`opstool.post.get_nodal_responses`(odb_tag[, ...])	Read nodal responses data from a file.
`opstool.post.get_element_responses`(odb_tag, ...)	Read nodal responses data from a file.
`opstool.post.get_sensitivity_responses`(odb_tag)	Read sensitivity responses data from a file.

Retrive the other data:¶

`opstool.post.get_model_data`([odb_tag, ...])	Read model data from a file.
`opstool.post.get_eigen_data`([odb_tag])	Get the eigenvalue data from the saved file.
`opstool.post.get_linear_buckling_data`([odb_tag])	Get the linear buckling analysis data from the saved file.
