Python Plaxis2D how to get the mesh node numbers

Yes! For all PLAXIS commands there are Python equivalents:

You can directly translate the echo command but usually, in Python you would do:

nodes = g_i.Model.MeshStatus.NumberOfNodes
print(nodes)

Ok, that works fine for the command line. Is there a python equivalent?

Hello Falko,

I see. Indeed that is way off what I thought your question was about.
No worries, I have this one, too.

They all belong to the Model, inside the MeshStatus object. Here are some nice examples of the information you can get:

echo Model
echo Model.MeshStatus
echo Model.MeshStatus.NumberOfNodes
echo Model.MeshStatus.NumberOfElements
echo Model.MeshStatus.Status

Thank You, I updated the answer. I was refering to the total mesh nodes generated by the g_i.mesh(0.1) command.

Dear Falko,

You can find all the available properties of Output objects in our documentation: Help>Command reference>Output objects>Soil

In principle, you can use the getresults command to retrieve the results and the property to query is the: NodeID
