Filter specific elements for visualization.

[slbibb58]

Dear STKO team,

Is it possible to filter out specific elements, such as soil elements, during the post-processing stage in STKO with mpco files, if, for instance, we have a finite element model containing soil, water, and a structure?

Thanks.

Hi, You can explore the Python API option, particularly writing script using the PyMpc (a library). https://asdeasoft.net/stko-wiki/class_p ... nment.html

I would also like you to try an another option: Try to put the elements of your choice in "Selection set" in the pre-processor itself. The same selection sets can be accessed in the post-processor.

Thank you for your response.

For the "Selection set" option, could you please explain how to access my selection sets in the postprocessor.

For the Python API option, could you please provide more details about this option.

Thanks.

Get the database (MpcOdb class).

Code: Select all

db_id = 1
doc = App.postDocument()
db = doc.getDatabase(db_id)
for sset_id, sset in db.selectionSets.items():
	print(sset.name)
	print(sset.nodes)
	print(sset.elements)
