ElementInfoProvider

class ansys.dpf.composites.layup_info.ElementInfoProvider(mesh, layer_indices, element_types_apdl, element_types_dpf, keyopt_8_values, keyopt_3_values, material_ids, solver_material_ids=None, no_bounds_checks=False)

Provider for ElementInfo.

Use get_element_info_provider() to create ElementInfoProvider objects.

Initialize the class before a loop and call get_element_info() for each element.

Note that the ElementInfoProvider class is not fully supported for distributed RST files. The get_element_info() method will raise an exception if the DPF server version does not support reading the required information.

Parameters:

• mesh (MeshedRegion) –

• layer_indices (PropertyField) –

• element_types_apdl (PropertyField) –

• element_types_dpf (PropertyField) –

• keyopt_8_values (PropertyField) –

• keyopt_3_values (PropertyField) –

• material_ids (PropertyField) –

• no_bounds_checks (bool, default: False) – Disable bounds checks. Results in better performance but potentially cryptic error messages

Methods

ElementInfoProvider.get_element_info(element_id)

Get ElementInfo for a given element id.
