How to retrieve temperature solution on specific coordinates by using PyDPF?

Ilaria Iaconeta

Hi, I am new to PyDPF. I have a transient thermal analysis and I would like to retrieve by using PyDPF the temperature solution on nodes which have the smallest distance from specific coordinates. What would be the best way to do this?

Hello, I think these two solution should provide you examples to help you start with your task:
1.-Print temperatures node ids and locations using DPF inside mechanical

2.-How to plot temperature time history on a set of nodes in Mechanical using DPF?

Dear Abel,

Thank you for the solution provided.
I would like to run the python script not from Mechanical, but from terminal.
In this case, how the python code should change?
I made some tests, but I got some errors. For instance, I got some attribute errors with Connect() or GetData() .

Thank you.
Best regards.
