Field
objects contain solution data for a
(Finite-Element, Finite-Volume, or Finite-Difference) mesh. A
Field
object is created by first selecting a
Model
object and then from the menu
Object->Create empty Field...
. In the editor,
select the parameters (name, load case, computational cycle, etc.) and
click the Apply
button. From the Python environment,
assuming that "m" references a Model
object, a
Field
object is created like this
f = Field(m, name='DISP', case=1)
This chapter is structured as follows: For more details about
creating, loading, and re-loading Field
objects, see
Section 2. In Section 3, the different enumerators that
apply to Field
objects are described. How to choose
among them is explained in Section 4. How
to inspect solution data is described in Section 5.
Field
objects do not display data in 3D
fashion, this task is fulfilled by the NPart
object
which makes use of the Field
object to retrieve the
solution data.
