## LayupPlotDict.create\_material\_plot(name=None, id=None, active=True, scope\_entire\_model=True, data\_scope=\[\], show\_on\_solids=False, show\_ply\_offsets=False, ply\_offset\_scale\_factor=1.0, add\_to\_active\_set=True, locked=False, component='E1', use\_all\_available\_fields=True, field\_variable\_names=\[\], shear\_angle\_enabled=False, temperature\_enabled=False)

Create a Material Plot object.

### Parameters

- name: Name of the plot.
- id: ID for the plot.
- active: Whether the plot is active.
- scope\_entire\_model: If ‘True’, then the scope of this plot is the entire model. If not, then set to false and use the data\_scope to specify a sub scope.
- data\_scope: One or more objects defining the scope for which data is computed and returned. Applicable are: element set, oriented selection set, modeling ply, sampling point.
- show\_on\_solids: ‘True’ or ‘False’ (default). Whether to show the results on the shell or solid model (if present).
- show\_ply\_offsets: ‘True’ or ‘False’ (default). Whether to display ply-wise visualizations with ply offsets.
- ply\_offset\_scale\_factor: Scale factor for the offsets of the visualized plies if show\_ply\_offsets=True.
- component: Specifies the component.
- use\_all\_available\_fields: ‘True’ (default) or ‘False’. Whether to enable all available field variables in the evaluation.

### Returns

The plot object.

### Example

: Create a material plot with Data Scope set to element set “All\_Elements” showing the Young Modulus E2:

```default
>>> E2_plot = db.active_model.layup_plots.create_material_plot(name="E2_Plot", data_scope=[db.active_model.element_sets['All_Elements']], component = 'E2')

```
