ElementInfoProvider

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

Provider for ElementInfo for MAPDL models.

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_mapdl (PropertyField)

• element_types_dpf (PropertyField)

• keyopt_8_values (PropertyField)

• keyopt_3_values (PropertyField)

• material_ids (PropertyField)

• solver_material_ids (Optional[PropertyField], default: None)

• 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.
