How to create the Python result on a named selection of faces, without showing node.

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to create a Python result on a named selection of faces by following below link.
https://developer.ansys.com/blog/script-tip-friday-examples-python-results-mechanical-part-2

but same as the example, the nodes are displayed and causing severe lag with large model.

How can I make the plot in the plot view without the nodes.

Hello @ZZ.tang

This can be done by inserting a SetOutputContour operation and assigning it an appropriate dpf.enums.GFXContourType value before recording the workflow ID.

This step ensures that both the contour display and the interpretation of scoping/averaging are handled correctly.

You may find this example useful, as it shows how to configure the workflow end-to-end:

I just noticed there is a reply about this question from @Pernelle Marone-Hitz.

You can play with the coping and the possible values of GFXContourType. Please refer to this page of the help for further information:
