class femedu.plotter.Plotter.Plotter

class: representing a Plotter object

addForces(axs)

add nodal forces to the plot shown in axs

Parameters:

axs – axis on which to plot

displacementPlot(file=None, **kwargs)

Create a deformed system plot

If file is given, store the plot to that file. Use proper file extensions to indicate the desired format (.png, .pdf)

Parameters:

file – filename (str)

setDisplacements(disp)

Parameters:

disp

setMesh(vert, lines)

Parameters:

• vert

• lines

setReactions(R)

Parameters:

R – list or tuple of nodal force vectors

setValues(vals)

Parameters:

vals

valuePlot(deformed=False, file=None, **kwargs)

Create a plot using colors to identify magnitude of internal force.

keyword	description
‘ux’, ‘uy’, ‘uz’	displacement component in the x, y or z direction
‘rx’, ‘ry’, ‘rz’	rotation around the x, y or z axis
‘sxx’, ‘syy’, ‘szz’	normal stress ${\sigma }_{xx}$, ${\sigma }_{yy}$, ${\sigma }_{zz}$
‘sxy’, ‘syz’, ‘szx’	shear stress ${\sigma }_{xy}$, ${\sigma }_{yz}$, ${\sigma }_{zx}$
‘epsxx’, ‘epsyy’, ‘epszz’	normal strain ${\epsilon }_{xx}$, ${\epsilon }_{yy}$, ${\epsilon }_{zz}$
‘epsxy’, ‘epsyz’, ‘epszx’	engineering shear strain ${\gamma }_{xy}=2{\epsilon }_{xy}$, ${\gamma }_{yz}=2{\epsilon }_{yz}$, ${\gamma }_{zx}=2{\epsilon }_{zx}$
‘T’	temperature
‘qx’, ‘qy’, ‘qz’	x, y or z component of the temperature gradient, $q_i=\partial T/\partial x_i$

If file is given, store the plot to that file. Use proper file extensions to indicate the desired format (.png, .pdf)

Parameters:

• deformed – True | False

• file – filename (str)
