Choose a time scoping for a transient analysis#
This example shows how to use a model’s result to choose a time scoping.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
from ansys.dpf.core import examples
from ansys.dpf.core import operators as ops
Create the model and display the state of the result. This transient result file contains several individual results, each at a different times.
transient = examples.find_msup_transient()
model = dpf.Model(transient)
print(model)

Obtain minimum and maximum displacements at all times#
Create a displacement operator and set its time scoping request to the entire time frequency support:
disp = model.results.displacement
disp_op = disp.on_all_time_freqs()
# Chain the displacement operator with norm and min_max operators.
min_max_op = ops.min_max.min_max_fc(ops.math.norm_fc(disp_op))
min_disp = min_max_op.outputs.field_min()
max_disp = min_max_op.outputs.field_max()
print(max_disp.data)

Plot the minimum and maximum displacements over time:
tdata = model.metadata.time_freq_support.time_frequencies.data
plt.plot(tdata, max_disp.data, "r", label="Max")
plt.plot(tdata, min_disp.data, "b", label="Min")
plt.xlabel("Time (s)")
plt.ylabel("Displacement (m)")
plt.legend()
plt.show()
Use time extrapolation#
A local maximum can be seen on the plot between 0.05 and 0.075 seconds. Displacement is evaluated every 0.0005 seconds in this range to draw a nicer plot on this range.
offset = 0.0005
time_scoping = [0.05 + offset * i for i in range(0, int((0.08 - 0.05) / offset))]
print(time_scoping)
