Query.create_temporal(name: str, query_type: str, part_list: List[Any], variable1: Any, variable2: Any | None = None, start_time: float | None = None, end_time: float | None = None, num_samples: int | None = None, node_id: int | None = None, element_id: int | None = None, xyz: List[float] | None = None, ijk: List[int] | None = None, new_plotter: bool = False) → ENS_QUERY

Create an EnSight query over time.

Parameters:

namestr

Name for the query.

query_type:

Type of the query. Descriptions of options follow.

Name	Query type
TEMPORAL_NODE	At a node number over time
TEMPORAL_ELEMENT	At an element number over time
TEMPORAL_IJK	At an ijk element over time
TEMPORAL_XYZ	At some x,y,z location over time
TEMPORAL_MINIMUM	Minimum value on the selected parts at each point in time
TEMPORAL_MAXIMUM	Maximum value on the selected parts at each point in time

part_listlist

List of parts to use as the source for the query.

variable1

Variable to sample as the “y” value.

variable2optional

Variable to sample as the “x” value. The default is None, in which case the “x” value is the distance along the sampling domain.

start_timefloat, optional

Simulation time to start sampling at. The default is None, in which case the first timestep, ENS_GLOBALS.SOLUTIONTIME_LIMITS[0], is used.

end_timefloat, optional

The simulation time to end sampling at. The default is None, in which case the last timestep, ENS_GLOBALS.SOLUTIONTIME_LIMITS[1], is used.

num_samplesint, optional

Number of samples to take along the selected timestep range. The default is None, in which case the number of defined timesteps, ENS_GLOBALS.TIMESTEP_LIMITS[1] - ENS_GLOBALS.TIMESTEP_LIMITS[0] + 1, is used.

node_idint, optional

For a TEMPORAL_NODE query, the ID of the node to query. The default is None.

element_idint, optional

For a TEMPORAL_ELEMENT query, the ID of the element to query. The default is None.

xyzlist[float], optional

For a TEMPORRAL_XYZ query, the [x,y,z] location in data space to query. The default is None.

ijklist[int], optional

For a TEMPORAL_IJK query, the [i,j,k] value for the structured mesh node to query. The default is None.

new_plotterbool, optional

Whether to add the query to a newly created plotter. The default is False.

Returns:

ENS_QUERY

``ENS_QUERY instance on success or raises an exception on error.

>>> parts = s.ensight.objs.core.PARTS
>>> s.ensight.utils.query.create_temporal("Maximum plastic",
>>> s.ensight.utils.query.TEMPORAL_MAXIMUM, parts, "plastic", new_plotter=True)
