## LayupPlotDict.create\_scalar\_field\_plot(name=None, id=None, scope\_entire\_model=True, data\_scope=\[\], scalar\_field=None, show\_supporting\_points=False, show\_supporting\_point\_labels=False, supporting\_point\_scale\_factor=1.0, show\_on\_solids=False, show\_ply\_offsets=False, ply\_offset\_scale\_factor=1.0, add\_to\_active\_set=True, locked=False)

Create a Field Plot object.

### Parameters

- name: Name of the plot.
- id: ID for the plot.
- 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.
- ply\_wise: ‘True’ or ‘False’ (default). Decides whether to return the field values of the individual plies or of the whole stack of plies present at an element.
- 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.

### Returns

The plot object.

### Example

: Create a field plot with Data Scope set to element set “All\_Elements” in ply\_wise mode:: tbdtbdtbd
