get_ply_offsets

LayupMappingData.get_ply_offsets(visible=None, selected=None)​

Get the offset between plies and reference surface.

  • Parameters:

    • visible: Object(s) defining visible scope
    • selected: Selected object(s) for ply-wise evaluations.

  • Returns: Resulting n-dimensional array of arrays with the ply-offset vectors for each node within the object/ply-selection: [ [array(float, float, float), array(float, float, float), …] … ]

    The scope of the data is evaluated as the intersection of

    • data_scope of plot
    • visible_scope defined by visible
    • selection_scope defined by selected

Example: : Get the ply-offsets for the current ply-wise plot with visible scope set to element set “All_Elements” and with ply1 and ply2 selected:


>>> p_offs = my_contour_plot.get_ply_offsets(visible=db.active_model.element_sets['All_Elements'], selected=[ply1, ply2])
