Model development for simulation using PyMAPDL - Lesson 3

This lesson explores the modeling of a pressure-based touchscreen using PyMAPDL. It features the modeling capabilities of PyMAPDL and details the finite element model, strain data extraction, and the use of hardpoints. Advance techniques like using Python dictionaries to define sensor locations efficiently and saving node locations for applied load input for synthetic dataset creation are also showcased. The Pools feature in PyMAPDL is also briefly discussed.
