set

Mapdl.set(lstep='', sbstep='', fact='', kimg='', time='', angle='', nset='', order='', **kwargs)

Defines the data set to be read from the results file.

APDL Command: SET

Parameters:

lstep

Load step number of the data set to be read (defaults to 1):

N

Read load step N.

FIRST

Read the first data set (Sbstep and TIME are ignored).

LAST

Read the last data set (Sbstep and TIME are ignored).

NEXT

Read the next data set (Sbstep and TIME are ignored). If at the last data set, the first data set will be read as the next.

PREVIOUS

Read the previous data set (Sbstep and TIME are ignored). If at the first data set, the last data set will be read as the previous.

NEAR

Read the data set nearest to TIME (Sbstep is ignored). If TIME is blank, read the first data set.

LIST

Scan the results file and list a summary of each load step. (KIMG, TIME, ANGLE, and NSET are ignored.)

バージョン 0.64 で変更: From version 0.64 you can use the methods to_list and to_array on the object returning from mapdl.set("list").

sbstep

Substep number (within Lstep). Defaults to the last substep of the load step (except in a buckling or modal analysis). For a buckling (ANTYPE,BUCKLE) or modal (ANTYPE,MODAL) analysis, Sbstep corresponds to the mode number. Specify Sbstep = LAST to store the last substep for the specified load step (that is, issue a SET,Lstep,LAST command).

fact

Scale factor applied to data read from the file. If zero (or blank), a value of 1.0 is used. This scale factor is only applied to displacement and stress results. A nonzero factor excludes non- summable items.

kimg

Used only with complex results (harmonic and complex modal analyses).

0 or REAL

Store the real part of complex solution (default).

1, 2 or IMAG

Store the imaginary part of a complex solution.

3 or AMPL

Store the amplitude

4 or PHAS

Store the phase angle. The angle value, expressed in degrees, will be between -180° and +180°.

time

Time-point identifying the data set to be read. For a harmonic analyses, time corresponds to the frequency.

angle

Circumferential location (0.0 to 360°). Defines the circumferential location for the harmonic calculations used when reading from the results file.

nset

Data set number of the data set to be read. If a positive value for NSET is entered, Lstep, Sbstep, KIMG, and TIME are ignored. Available set numbers can be determined by SET,LIST.

order

Key to sort the harmonic index results. This option applies to cyclic symmetry buckling and modal analyses only, and is valid only when Lstep = FIRST, LAST, NEXT, PREVIOUS, NEAR or LIST.

ORDER

Sort the harmonic index results in ascending order of eigenfrequencies or buckling load multipliers.

(blank)

No sorting takes place.

Notes

Defines the data set to be read from the results file into the database. Various operations may also be performed during the read operation. The database must have the model geometry available (or use the RESUME command before the SET command to restore the geometry from <Jobname.DB>). Values for applied constraints [D] and loads [F] in the database will be replaced by their corresponding values on the results file, if available. (See the description of the OUTRES command.) In a single load step analysis, these values are usually the same, except for results from harmonic elements. (See the description of the ANGLE value above.)

In an interactive run, the sorted list (ORDER option) is also available for results-set reading via a GUI pick option.

You can postprocess results without issuing a SET command if the solution results were saved to the database file (<Jobname.DB>). Distributed ANSYS, however, can only postprocess using the results file (for example, Jobname.RST) and cannot use the <Jobname.DB> file since no solution results are written to the database. Therefore, you must issue a SET command or a RESCOMBINE command before postprocessing in Distributed ANSYS.
