ElementIndexer

A single element of a result group, obtained by indexing a ResultIndexer.

The data is split into general, topology, material and results.

Examples

stage = gx.get_current_project().get_models_and_stages()[0]
el = stage.output.plate[2]
el.general.material_name
el.topology.nodes
el.results.final_forces.M_y
el.material

Properties

general : GeneralProperties: Material name, color, material model and shape ID of the element.
topology : Topology: Nodes of the element and their coordinates.
material : PropertyContainer: Parameters of the element's material as well as ``name`` and ``color``.
results : PropertyContainer: Result fields of the element as a nested PropertyContainer.

GeneralProperties

General information about a single element: its material and the shape it belongs to.

PropertyContainer

Nested namespace of named values for one element containing result fields or material parameters.

The elements of one result group, e.g. all plate elements (stage.output.plate) or all point reactions (stage.output.point_reaction).

After an analysis you read results through stage.output. A stage in this context is a so-called calculation stage, which can be both a stage and a model without stages.

Mesh topology of a single element i.e. its nodes and their coordinates.
