Include the element Library in PyMAPDL's documentation

Open jgd10 opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

The APDL documentation has an extensive element library which contains all the possible element types as well as descriptions of what each one is. This library isn't associated with any commands so it isn't being incorporated into our docs by default.

It would be extremely useful to have this element library available in the docs, perhaps it would need to be included as an rst file? Or collection of rst files? I'm not sure if we could auto-generate this so it would be a significant undertaking.

You're 100% right about this. Can you connect with the documentation team for open-sourcing the element files? I'd also really like to have classes for each element type. Doing this in an automated manner will be critical.

Yes; I will look into this.
