Points

class ansys.dpf.core.geometry.Points(coordinates, server=None)

Collection of DPF points.

This can be a single point or a cloud of points.

Parameters:

• coordinates (array, list, Field) – Coordinates of the points in a 3D space.

• server (ansys.dpf.core.server, optional) – Server with the channel connected to the remote or local instance. The default is None, in which case an attempt is made to use the global server.

Examples

Create Points object with two points, print object information and plot.

>>> from ansys.dpf.core.geometry import Points
>>> points = Points([[0, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0]])
>>> print(points)
DPF Points object:
Number of points: 2
Coordinates:
  [0. 0. 0.]
  [1. 0. 0.]
>>> points.plot()
