@germa89 @clatapie perhaps it is better to have a "dim4" and "dim5" commands as the MAPDL behavior of dim is 'anti-pattern' for Python as the number of function fields can change....??? @mcMunich and @pmaroneh do you have any thoughts here? mike
Hi @mikerife
Thank you for bringing this up. You are right, that it is an anti-pattern changing the number of arguments.
I am not 100% sure how to fix this. But I would probably add a function that wraps mapdl.dim
and if type is TAB4
or TAB5
, then redirect the output to another dim
function (maybe mapdl._dim45
for instance). If not, just use the default mapdl.dim
. I think it is not very transparent to the user, but it is also how MAPDL is defined.... so 🤷🏻♂️
What do you think @koubaa ??
🤓 Before submitting the issue
pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager ansys-mapdl-core
in your activated virtual environment.🔍 Description of the bug
When defining a 4 or 5 D array the number of 'extents' and 'variables' change to match the array dimension. So for a 4D array the extents add 'LMAX' and 'VAR4'. PyMAPDL only condsiders dimensions up to 3.
The "TYPE" on the PyMAPDL command page will need updating as well as the type is 'ARR4' for a 4D array and similar with 5D.
