mapdl_material_properties class
Last update: 18.06.2026Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.result
Summary
Read the values of the properties of a material for a given materials property field (property field that contains materials information for each element of a mesh).It returns a fields container containing a field for each material property, with only one value per material. The following keys can be used: Young's modulus (keys: EX, EY, EZ), Poisson's ratio (keys: NUXY, NUYZ, NUXZ), Shear Modulus (keys: GXY, GYZ, GXZ), Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (keys: ALPX, ALPY, ALPZ), Volumic Mass (key: DENS), second Lame's coefficient (key: MU), Damping coefficient (key: DAMP), thermal Conductivity (keys: KXX, KYY, KZZ), Resistivity (keys: RSVX, RSVY, RSVZ), Specific heat in constant volume (key: C), Film coefficient (key: HF), Viscosity (key: VISC), Emissivity (key: EMIS).
available inputs: properties_name (string), materials (PropertyField), streams_container (StreamsContainer), data_sources (DataSources)
available outputs: properties_value (FieldsContainer)
Example
op = mapdl_material_properties()
op = mapdl_material_properties(properties_name=my_properties_name,materials=my_materials,streams_container=my_streams_container,data_sources=my_data_sources)
