PyMAPDL Reader : Plotting Heat Flux/Gradient of Temperature

[VHB4910]

I need to plot thermal gradient or the heat flux after solving a steady state heat equation problem. Does the PyMAPDL Reader have any attribute for plotting them (basically equivalents of mapdl.plesol("TF","X"))?

Hi @VHB4910

I don't think there is anything yet for directly retrieving thermal flux, or plot it. I'm sorry about it!
There are some methods, but it seems you explored them in #3231.

Thanks, @germa89 . I wanted to check and confirm. I have one more question on how Ansys handles heat flux as a Neumann Boundary condition, but will post is as a separate discussion in #3234.
