elemental_fraction_fc class

Last update: 18.06.2026

Namespace: Ans.DataProcessing.operators.averaging

Summary

Transforms Elemental Nodal fields into Elemental fields. Each elemental value is the fraction between the elemental difference and the entity average. The result is computed on a given element's scoping.

available inputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer), mesh (MeshedRegion) (optional), scoping (Scoping) (optional), denominator (FieldsContainer) (optional), collapse_shell_layers (bool) (optional)

available outputs: fields_container (FieldsContainer)

Example

op = elemental_fraction_fc()

op = elemental_fraction_fc(fields_container=my_fields_container,mesh=my_mesh,scoping=my_scoping,denominator=my_denominator,collapse_shell_layers=my_collapse_shell_layers)

Assembly Ans_Dpf_FEMutils_dll_cs
Base Class Ans.DataProcessing.internal_objects.BaseOperator

Inputs

fields_container

Type: LinkableInput

mesh

The mesh region in this pin is used to perform the averaging. It is used if there is no fields support.

Type: LinkableInput

scoping

Average only on these elements. If it is a scoping container, the label must correspond to the one of the fields containers.

Type: LinkableInput

denominator

If a fields container is set in this pin, it is used as the denominator of the fraction instead of entity_average_fc.

Type: LinkableInput

collapse_shell_layers

If true, the data across different shell layers is averaged as well (default is false).

Type: LinkableInput

Outputs

fields_container

Type: LinkableOutput
