What are the different methods of post processing in PyMAPDL?<\/p>\n

There are three or four methods depending on how you count\/group the answers.  Generally these are:<\/p>\n

1 Creating static images (png, jpeg, etc) of results using the standard, native capability of MAPDL batch.<\/p>\n

2 Using the native PyMAPDL post processing method; this is based on Numpy arrays of data (e.g. node IDs and nodal result) and live plotting of contour plots.<\/p>\n

3 Use PyMAPDL Reader language library.  Similar to number 2 but has its own method names.<\/p>\n

4 Gather the necessary data and use a plotting library of your choice; often PyVista or Matplotlib.pyplot depending on whether a contour or XY plot is needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-379368","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
