get_ply_offsets

ScalarFieldData.get_ply_offsets(visible=None, selected=None)

Returns the offset between plies and reference surface.

Parameters

• visible: One or more objects defining visible scope
• selected: Selected one or more objects 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

: Returns 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])
