PyMAPDL Examples#

The Technology Showcases and the Verification Manual examples for PyMAPDL are contained in this repository.

Verification Manual#

These examples present how to use PyMAPDL in an academic modeling context. They ensure the PyMAPDL accuracy.

Summary of the exposed Verification Manual Examples#

in straightforward problems which have “classical” or readily-obtainable theoretical solutions using PyMAPDL.

These problems may then serve as the basis for additional validation and qualification of Mechanical APDL capabilities for specific applications that may be of interest.
