get_ply_wise_data#

ansys.dpf.composites.ply_wise_data.get_ply_wise_data(field, ply_name, mesh, spot_reduction_strategy=SpotReductionStrategy.AVG, requested_location='ElementalNodal', component=0)#

Get ply-wise data from a field.

Parameters:

  • field (Field) – Field to extract data from.

  • ply_name (str) – Name of the ply to extract data from.

  • mesh (MeshedRegion) – Meshed region that needs to be enriched with composite information. Use the CompositeModel.get_mesh() method to get the meshed region.

  • spot_reduction_strategy (SpotReductionStrategy, default: <SpotReductionStrategy.AVG: 'AVG'>) – Reduction strategy for getting from spot values (BOT, MID, TOP) to a single value per corner node and layer. The default is AVG.

  • requested_location (str, default: 'ElementalNodal') – Location of the output field. Important: The function always averages nodal values for "elemental" or "nodal" locations, irrespective of "spot_reduction_strategy". Options are "elemental", "elemental_nodal", and "nodal". The default is "elemental_nodal".

  • component (Union[IntEnum, int], default: 0) – Component to extract data from. The default is 0.

Return type:

Field
