Plotting element solutions saved as array graphically

[arun-maniam]

Hi,

I have an array with values for each elements. I would like to plot this element solution graphically using PyMAPDL. But I'm not sure if this can be done. IF yes, how can this be done? Thanks in advance!

You could do something like this:

from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl

mapdl = launch_mapdl()

# Generate model
# 

# Genertate values of each elements
#

grid = mapdl.mesh.grid
scalars = values_for_each_element
grid.plot(scalars=scalars)

Based on this example: https://mapdl.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/examples/gallery_examples/00-mapdl-examples/geometry.html#accessesing-element-and-nodes-pythonically
