paraview.simple.AnimateModes

paraview.simple.AnimateModes(*input, **params)

For certain file formats, like Exodus, simulation codes may use the timesteps and time values to represent quantities other than time. For example, for modal analysis, the natural frequency for each mode may be used as the time value. Animate Modes can be used to reinterpret time as mode shapes. The filter can also animate vibrations for each mode shape (when AnimateVibrations is set to true). In that case, the time requested by the downstream pipeline is used to scale the displacement magnitude for a mode shape in a sinusoidal pattern, cos(2*pi * requested-time).

Data Descriptors

AnimateVibrations

Specify whether the filter should animate the vibrations. When set, the requested time is used compute displacements for the chosen mode shape.

DisplacementMagnitude

Specify a scale factor to apply the displacements.

DisplacementPreapplied

Specify whether displacements are pre-applied.

Input

This property specifies the input to the filter.

ModeShape

Specify which mode shape to animate.

Vectors

Specify the displacement vectors array

Methods

Initialize = aInitialize(self, connection=None, update=True)

Methods inherited from SourceProxy

FileNameChanged(self)

Called when the filename of a source proxy is changed.

GetCellDataInformation(self)

Returns the associated cell data information.

GetDataInformation(self, idx=None)

This method returns a DataInformation wrapper around a vtkPVDataInformation

GetFieldDataInformation(self)

Returns the associated cell data information.

GetPointDataInformation(self)

Returns the associated point data information.

UpdatePipeline(self, time=None)

This method updates the server-side VTK pipeline and the associated data information. Make sure to update a source to validate the output meta-data.

UpdatePipelineInformation(self)

This method updates the meta-data of the server-side VTK pipeline and the associated information properties

__getitem__(self, idx)

Given a slice, int or string, returns the corresponding output port

Methods inherited from Proxy

GetProperty(self, name)

Given a property name, returns the property object.

GetPropertyValue(self, name)

Returns a scalar for properties with 1 elements, the property itself for vectors.

InitializeFromProxy(self, aProxy, update=True)

Constructor. Assigns proxy to self.SMProxy, updates the server object as well as register the proxy in _pyproxies dictionary.

ListProperties(self)

Returns a list of all property names on this proxy.

SetPropertyWithName(self, pname, arg)

Generic method for setting the value of a property.

__del__(self)

Destructor. Cleans up all observers as well as remove the proxy from the _pyproxies dictionary

__eq__(self, other)

Returns true if the underlying SMProxies are the same.

__getattr__(self, name)

With the exception of a few overloaded methods, returns the SMProxy method

__hash__(self)

Return hash(self).

__init__(self, **args)

Default constructor. It can be used to initialize properties by passing keyword arguments where the key is the name of the property. In addition registrationGroup and registrationName (optional) can be specified (as keyword arguments) to automatically register the proxy with the proxy manager.

__iter__(self)

Creates an iterator for the properties.

__ne__(self, other)

Returns false if the underlying SMProxies are the same.

__setattr__(self, name, value)

Implement setattr(self, name, value).

add_attribute(self, name, value)
